Frankly, y'all , Vietnam was a great experience , and, like my Spec. 5 Sager always said ... "This war is hell , but it's better than none at all " .

I think the BIG lesson from Vietnam is this: We all went there without out much questioning of why , did a great job while there, and figured somebody in the Top Command slot knew WTF they were doing. It turns out NOBODY knew what they were doing. Vietnam was LBJ's pet project ... an egotistical incompetent pushing a historically impossible war. And DING ... DING ... DING ... we LOST ! Fast Forward to today, and we get another egotistical incompetent, GW Bush , repeating the program.

I never thought I'd be one , but, if I had enough hair left to be a hippie anti-war protester, I'd be burning my AARP Card !
