There are several vn vets at TFP, but you don't see many of them here. For good reason, imo.
As an ex-wife of a vn vet, he wouldn't be too keen about the armchair warriors here. While Freddy was boots on the ground, I was watching the evening news that was focused on the daily death count. "A brazillian VC were killed today; our brave soldiers had three woundings." An exaggeration of course, but pretty much what the American public was spoon fed to stay in support of the war.
