Reply #12: What is wrong is that it is the truth. My uncle is a Viet Nam Vet [View All]

[loudnclear]

actually several people in my family are Nam vets but my uncle an I are very close. He attends today three support groups sponsored by the VA. The meetings are always full and still today many vets are trying to deal with what they saw and with what they did. The range of atocities goes from "fraging" to spraying women and children walking along to poop holes. And yes, there were children carrying grenades and guns and yes, some women were used as decoys. But this fact remains: these people were fighing in their own land. Every soldiers that was killed in Nam had to cross an ocean to get there. And for what? We are having normal relations with Viet Nam today and we are kissing cousing with the Russians. That's why so many Nam vets turned against the war when they returned home to find the media and the government lying to the people just as is the case now with Iraq.
