Really? Without debating the imperative of the Vietnam conflict I hardly think the republic was in jeopardy at any time. I don't believe I would have been willing to put my young life on the line for such a cause. I completely understand why so many chose not to risk dying for essentially nothing.
It's hard to imagine a bigger waste of lives then those who died in the jungles of Vietnam.
That in no way diminishes the service of those who fought in Vietnam.

Yep. I heard on the Viet Nam war special being aired last night that at our high point in the number of troops, the number was 500,000 troops. Amazing isn't it that we didn't have the military leaders, including the CIC, who couldn't figure a way to actually win that war in the minds of Americans, not politicians.
Johnson's "prevent defense" cost us the ball game imo.

Laughable, you think 18 and 19 year olds in 68 or 69 had the same perspective of politics and history that you now have the luxury of basing your principled stand?
