"The problem with Viet Nam was that we didn't believe in the war and the tragedy was that we sent so many young men to die.' Oh, but we did believe in the war for at least the first few years, myself included. It was when a few who turned out to be many finally made the point that it was a war being fought for the wrong purposes and which had already killed more than a million people that turned the tide among the public and the politicians and indeed many of the military.

"The failure to provide emotional and moral support to those kids is a crime we as a nation should never forget. Unfortunately, I don't think we learned our lesson" Yeah, I think we learned our lesson.....it will be a long time before we get involved in a war that is not just. I still, to this day, really know the reasons we were there. It was a civil war, there was no genocide, no ethnic cleansing, etc. It was two political systems fighting for control of the country. We took the side of one those systems and got our asses whipped by an impoverished army in sandals.
