You were used in that war I heard that line after my first overseas tour in the early 60s. You got any new ones? BTW I don't have any of the horrible guilty feelings nor any of the remorse you have been describing. So I can't advise you there. Maybe you and Kerry can share the same shrink.

Re: "War in vietnam was not lost by congress, it was lost by the generals and the troops, not because of specific failing but because the enemy had wide enough support or at least wider than the govt in the South. I hope the same doesnt happen in iraq." This is utter BS created in the minds of the Jane Fonda (then)/Michael Moore(now)libs to absolve themselves of blame for indirectly causing the loss of thousands of brave US servicemen. If we fought pre-Korean War battles with the same political restrictions we had in Korea forward, the North would have lost, for starters...the language of Europe would be German...I could go on...but you don't understand history, so it's wasted... If you understood history, you would understand that Muslims, radical or otherwise, have stifled all areas they have occupied, frozen them in the middle ages. All they know is war and enslavement...this is communism with a religious face...Finland has a greater GDP than all the muslim nations in the world...there is no freedom unless you are a high "religious" muck-y-muck...and like communism they exist to eliminate Christians and provide cushy life styles for the leaders of the party...sorta like the ACLU here..jj
