you and Al didn't live through it...or were not of meaningful age.

Assuming that was true, and it is not in my case ( I missed the draft by a luck of the lottery draw), so what?

I agree with your principal point. Vietnam was a mistake. A mistake that should have tought this nation a lasting lesson. And yet here we are...back at it, invading a country that has not done a thing to us. And the justification based on a pack of lies. With our kids doing the dirty work again and dying for questionable ideologies, with politicians that have miscalculated before and will again, just as they did on Vietman, no matter what side of the political spectrum they come from. They screw up and innocent people die or a scarred for life.

Self defense? I am all for it. Sign me up.
Pre-emption....it disgusts me.
