Connecticut Senate: 2010 Election BREAKING News

I think Vietnam vets who go after Kerry are the saddest, most broken & lost brothers of all those who've seen combat. I think they've conflated the US leaving Vietnam with their own service, and believe it means their service was a failure, that they are losers. I think they wanted to return home to ticker tape parades & treated like heroes like WWII veterans. And even then only some WWII veterans had that kind of homecoming, the first wave who arrived home from the european theater as a jubilant nation was celebrating an end to 5 years of the entire world at war, where everyone's lives were caught up in it -- Years of rationing will do that. Those returning later, from the pacific theater didn't get that kind of reception.



I think Vietnam vets like you expected that war to give their lives meaning & status before they ever left to fight it. When that didn't happen, they blamed the left for ruining it for them.



I think you need to do some serious reevaluation because it's not us liberals who deprived you of glory. It was the endeavors that you chose, still choose, man-against-man, the violent inhumanity of conflict and war that deprived you & is apparently still running your life.
