As time goes...

 As time goes on, many people actually do learn from the mistakes 
that were made. America learned from Vietnam, how not to turn
thier backs (Desert Storm). I can't help but to wonder if it
would have had the same outcome had Desert Storm turned out like
Vietnam did. War is a sad thing. It's unfortunate that it happens.
Some people enjoy it, others do not, however ALL people must
unite to support those who are there. Good or bad, it happens.
Both sides lose. Both sides do evil things. Right or wrong, it's
the HUMAN way. Not the "American" nor the "Vietnamese" way. I am
sorry for the Vietnamese who died in vietnam,amends are trying to 
be made. Many people (mostly Vets) are going back trying to help
rebuild villages. However, my heart does belong to my fellow
Americans. I am very proud to be an American. Whereas I do not
understand the Vietnamese culture, and know not why they did the
things they did, I do not expect the Vietnamese to understand
ours. My heart breaks for our fallen soldiers. They were doing 
thier duties. My heart breaks for the families of the lost, the
survivors of the war and for their families also. Mostly my 
heart breaks for how our Men were treated upon returning, and
that it seems even 20 odd years later, the right things are still
not being discussed. It's unfortunate that people say hateful
things to each other and forget that THEY weren't there. I don't
think "why" is should be the question anymore. There is no answer.
This is the time to cherish, respect, love, honour and most of
all REMEMBER our Vietnam Vets. Thanks guys (and gals), I love you for what you did,
and Welcome Home.
