After sleeping on it I realized my opinion and attitude was narrow yet extreme to say the least. My problem isnt with Mr Thompson or people like him. Im a "support my country right or wrong" to a fault kind of guy. After attending many 911 funerals I really dont care so much about right and wrong anymore, only survival and victory. Leadpenny, your reply that my cousin probably would have done the same thing as Thompson blew me out of the water.

Thank you for your service, sir and please accept my apologies for my rude replies to you.

Fair enough. I tend to get a little hot when I get on the whole Vietnam topic. So many things were screwed up about it and mostly by civilians. I always support my country but when something is wrong, you have to fix it. That's real support, don't you think? My Lai wasn't about America being wrong; it was about some renegade officers and gutless men who committed war crimes. I'd much rather have us policing our own than have the rest of the world doing it, since most of them like nothing more than to give the US a black eye at every opportunity.
Anyway, no harm, good discussion. Thanks.
