To clarify. Of course they had a choice to enlist for whatever reason. They should be proud of that. Once they took that step forward, all choices were off. They were and are under the control of a higher command good or evil.
The Vietnam and Korean wars were fabricated by the same type of evil people that sent our youth into Iraq. It was all about feeding the military complex, not about freedom, communism or anything else. Again over 50,000 die for greed headed scum.
The only difference is the Anti war group during Vietnam made admitted mistakes in not separating those who were under command from those over them. Thats the point Im trying to make.
The returning soldiers from Vietnam did not deserve what they got from people like me or from the government. We live and learn, or at least some of us do.
