To defend the traitor bitch is your right. To malign the military leaders while doing so, just shows your gross ignorance. Generals do not decide when we go to war, or with whom... the ground work for the Vietnam war was laid in WWII. No one expects you to know that, or have the initiative to find out the truth.. Like the idiots who are telling the POW lie, you are finding it easier to spout off in ignorance than to seek the truth. I know a lot of Vietnam vets. None are whiny ass like the fake vets the media loves so much... (Read "Stolen Valor") and none are stupid enough to disgrace their buddies who died in Nam... (The most vocal dumbass I know who bad mouths what went on in Vietnam, drove a water truck on a large and secure base for 18 months. He has now set himself up as an authority on military tactics and the political goals of the US and South Vietnam. Quite a jump for a jerk who did nothing but fill up the water tanks at shower points and latrines (bathrooms for you civilians)
So Danny, me boy, why don't you find out what went on, and why it went on, before you promote yourself as some kind of expert. You don't know dick!
