What It Would Have Been Like to Have Experienced Vietnam

From Adam Fernandez (age- 16), on Thu, 04 Jul 1996 07:21:33 GMT (in response to: Goes out to the hearts of men)

	I have always been interested in Vietnam, even though 
none of my family was involved, especially being in a hughe 
being one of the gunners or pilot. please bear with me if I
make mistakes.  I once talked to an nice man who had been in
71st airborne and ever since then i have been hooked.  What 
makes me mad is the way veterns or the survives were treated 
the war, or when ever they came back home.  Many ppl laid down 
their lives for what they were told, that they were fighting 
against communism and for freedom.  there were all these 
demonstrations for the war to end and many veterns were thought
of as the bad guys for going to nam and fighting in it.  well, 
now i have said what i thought, not that it is much note-worthy
feel this way from observation, not experience.  i feel proud of
all the vietnam soldiers, survivers and those nolonger with us, 
and hope the next generation, or my generation will never forget
what was sacrifised and that there never has to be another war 
like Vietnam.
