[quote="Pfc.Green":579a8]Yes the peace protesters were so cool :roll: , they treated returning soldiers like shit, I have no respect for those cowards. WE DID FAIL because of lack of support if more troops were sent in and the bombing continued we would have succeded. At least i am proud of my country, and dont hide were I am from.[/quote:579a8]

Green your age is showing. The solider's were treated like crap by more the just the peace protesters. I met quite a few Nam vets who protested the war themselves. The were treated like crap by the general populace, A Nam vet would go into the local VFW at the time of the war and be shunned by the vets. We were fighting in a war we had no business being in. When the Vet's came home, for several years our government did almost nothing to help the re-adjust to civilian life. Some of these unfornate people never did re-adjust.
Say what you like Green, You were'nt even a twinkle in your mother's eye yet. Pride in your country does not mean you have to follow it current leaders blindly.
