[QUOTE="lasher, post: 2936361, member: 40522"] arrived Danang on August 13, 1965 after spending more than a month at sea. rotated out February 10, 1968. beat down my oldest friend for bad mouthing the troops. flat out the country betrayed us, and then threw us away and wished we would disappear. we learned to get by. the VFW, American Legion, wouldn't have us. make no mistake, we didn't lose the fight on the field, the country gave up. about 3.5 million troops actually served in country, some 13 million now claim to have done so. 55,000 plus killed for nothing, 100's of thousands of vietnamese killed for nothing. today the "welcome home", "thank you for your service" is too little too late. where were they when i was paid the princely sum of $79 a month plus $75 combat pay? Ronald Reagan made me proud to be an American again. old friend of mine, JoeT was killed by the VA. they kept messing with his BP meds until they finally got it down to 0/0. JoeT was awarded a Silver Star, he was 18 when he earned the award. he spent almost 50 years drunk, and deeply depressed over the things he had done. He was tormented by the killing. and i wonder why you are trolling this question. and before i'm named liar and senile [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i1195.photobucket.com_albums_aa398_crayj_Me_DSC_0678_202.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
