We should honor the men and women who went through Hell in Vietnam not critize them and make them out casts just because you didn't believe in the reasons to fight. These men and women are our nations only hope and they fought fearlessly in a living hell where you couldn't even trust the children. they watched family and friends being masacared by VC troops that you would never be able to find in the jungle. Yet when they came back the people who protested the war threw bottles of piss at them instead of honoring them? I am only 17 years old and apologize to the soldiers for the way poeple treated you and I am proud to say that America was involved in Vietnam. So to all the soldiers who didn't get welcomed back the way they should have from a humble heart I am so sorry.
