Somehow, you strike a chord. Us ancients from the 60's have a certain bond I guess. I had a change of mind after meeting and talking with too many Vietnamese refugees and too many Vets with their heads on straight who truly understand that WE ARE THE GOOD GUYS.
It all boils down to that, Patty, WE ARE THE GOOD GUYS, and even if you apply moral relativism to our land, we still are THE GOOD GUYS.
What nation has ever been better than ours?
I tried to convince the doc at the induction centerthat his exam was "rather perfunctory" and he laughed at my claims of flat feet and high blood pressure and said, "you'll do." And do I did, all the way to Vietnam and back, hating it all the time, but, in retrospect, soldiering was one of the best things that happened to me. I belong to no vets groups, no American Legion Post or Veterans of Foreign Wars, but, whenever I see a flick like "Band of Brothers" or "Deer Hunter" my eyes well up with tears.
Their is a brotherhood among those of us who served which Obamabots will ignore at their peril.
