I spent 4 days up in DC back 96 and walked around to see alot of the memorials. I thought they were all pretty cool but didn't think much of them until I walked up on the wall. Seeing it, Touching it, reading some of the names gave me an ache in the chest. All I could think about was all of those men dying over there and it was all for nothing because people over here couldn't/wouldn't see their way past the anti-war crap. How many of those men would be alive today if they could have fought a real war?
