He went where he was told to go, and did what he was told to do. Some paid the ultimate price. Go to any National cemetary and see if you can count all the markers there. These Veterans gave it all. I love those guys. You can condemn the war, but NEVER condemn the Veteran. He went where he was told to go, and did what he was told to do. Some paid the ultimate price.

Surely, one would expect better treatment from a nation who benefitted from our sacrifices. The choices were mostly our, but some were drafted and they too bored the faith of those who engaged the enemy. The nation was not grateful, but spiteful of those who served during a time of an unforgiving war. Vietnam was not a pleasant experience, but those who were witnesses to such should be proud that they served their country. Thomas Jefferon said, " to remain silent when they should protest makes cowards of men". Our obligation to other veterans is to be models that we stand for the rights of others veterans.
