[QUOTE="HDRider, post: 1695793, member: 17025"] Twenty years wasted. Almost 3,000 dead. Over 20,000 maimed for life. When I first got out of school I was hired by a retired Air Force guy, Jim, a man who I become good friends with and respect greatly. I was a young smart ass punk. I made a comment one afternoon as we were doing our best to support Anheuser-Busch that we should never went to Vietnam. Sitting with us was Tom, another guy I worked with, a friend, who fought in Vietnam. My comment was really to Jim. Tom interjected and said this ain't a discussion you want to have. I was smart enough to shut up. Still yet. There was a time not so long ago that people were proud of their sons and daughters to go fight our wars. That was injured in Korea, and died in Vietnam. Yet, we did it again, more than once since Vietnam. Any parent would have a chill run through them today when their kid announced their intent to join the military. I am still proud of the kid, much much proud, and I owe a debt to the parent. The fault lies with the war pigs. [/QUOTE]
