I see honorable service to this country during the Vietnam war done in two ways.
One is to serve your nation, in the armed forces, honorably.
The other is to protest the war as best you can, because it was wrong of us to begin it.
Kerry opposed the war, but when called to service, he wen't right in. Additionally he voluntered for active service in Vietnam. The postion he originally got would have kept him safe off the coast of Nam. He did more than he had to. His own crew vouch for his bravery and integrity. When he was released he resumed his original goal of opposing the war the best he could. He fought to bring our boys home from an unnecessary war.
To me that is the
IDEAL way to conduce yourself in the face of that period.
But again, this is way off target for this thread. PLEASE STOP. If you need to discuss this, take it to a brand
new thread.
Let's not distract anymore from what this topic is about.
