The reason I have written these stories about my time in Vietnam has been to preserve the history as I experienced it and to pass it on to our following generations.

I'm sure that all of you have seen the nastiness and lies that we got from the Left when we got home and I am trying to do my part to set the record straight.

But just in case some of you think that it was only Leftists, I have recently gotten hissing hate as a Vietnam Veteran from a conservative "BigRedBadger" here on the FreeRepublic in response to me when he didn't agree with my part of a discussion:

"Check YOUR Meds..grunt.

Better yet Use that Zippo you torched brooches With and turn yourself into a LawnCandle. Piss off!"

I guess that we'll have to deal with this kind of weird crud for the rest of our lives.

“Torched brooches?” I guess the he meant “hooches.” Whatever that jackass is he ain’t no “conservative.” I don’t even know what the word “conservative means anymore.

torched brooches

Must be all that jewelry you wore into combat..... ;-)

Have had old liberals accuse me of false valor when they did not like my manner. You cannot reach into the screen and drag them through it, unfortunately.

Thank you for going. Thank you for writing.

I have sat and listened to many a story from vets from my class.

At the time I didn’t like the war because it had no clear defined goal. It was a meat grinder for our soldiers.

I always supported the troops. When you guys came home and sat in those funky give a vet a ride shelters, I always stopped. Bought a meal and wished them well

The folks deployed to Nam got the short end of the stick
