Yes, and I had the pleasure of fighting with many soldiers in the hellhole of Vietnam. I also had the pleasure of seeing the lifeless faces of Vietnamese that we were "helping," as well as the broken and shriveled faces of those we hadn't yet "helped."

You don't have a clue as to how most of the population came to view our "help," and you don't have a clue as to the impossibility of "pacifying" a population of nationalistic people who were willing to fight and die for their values, beliefs and ideals. Ideals that you don't understand because they contravene your view of what was "right" for them, but ideals that sent them into impossible firepower after they'd dug their own graves in the hope that enough would survive to bury them.

Why don't you shut up about stuff that you don't know a damn thing about and limit yourself to jumping up and down with pom poms and doing your "BUSH, BUSH, HE'S OUR MAN" cheers. It makes you look pathetic but at least it doesn't make you look like you have the intellect, emotions and insight of a farm turkey.
