I did my tour also, but has anyone ever thought of how stupid it was to spend so much blood, then go back home?

I'm a old man now, and what Jane did perhaps was not right, and she will have to answer for that herself. I happen to know all the truth is not in the front of the books, and wonder now how much of the blame is accurate.

I also know we were not good to all of the folks (enough said). I hope the good Lord does not hold me acountable for what I did as a snot nose kid, with a bad attatude. We did what our government told us to do, and they dumped alot of BS down our throats. In the end, what did we acomplish?

I have a class mate that was also over there, and he winters over there ever winter. He has a good coment as to the way the country is run, and the way the people act.

I probably asked before, so you understand, I had my house burn down a few years after I got out. My question is, do any of you guys that surved in 1970-71 remember a line haul fuel company with a gun jeep that carried a 50 cal? I'm hoping before I die of old age to see a picture of it again. (my pictures all burned, and I also lost all but a few of my contacts.

Now back to Jane, I forgive a stupid teenager for something she did a long time ago, I do not aprove, but I do forgive her. I also made mistakes that cost lives, and I'm sure some of the rest of you guys did also. We were all kids doing as we were told, and we figured it was all for the best of our country. We did make a few US folks very rich, and in my hometown, we seem to be getting more war heros as time drags on.

I'm not convinced that war heros tell their story, but rather sit and smile when the subject is brought up. I also never knew of a John Wayne type that came back alive.
