Discussing a war like the one in Vietnam is not â??off-topicâ?ť on this thread.
Those were crazy times, and the misguided enthusiasm of a few young miscreants was occasionally channeled into bombing ROTC centers, banks, and other misdeeds like the one you mentioned. I could also have mentioned the killing of four college students, by the National Guard, who were protesting the war at Kent State, Ohio. Or, the Chicago police riots at the Democratic National Convention protests of 1968, where it was a miracle that nobody was killed.
How about Nixon's "enemies lists", or the companies that were profiteering from the Vietnam War?
That war was a disgrace, even though it did not start out that way. After years of needless deaths and injuries, all we wanted was for the troops to be sent home alive â?? not in a body bag, stretcher or wheelchair. If anybody STILL thinks that we shouldnâ??t have withdrawn the troops, they are entitled to that opinion.
I didn't agree with the Vietnam war either. All we were doing was picking up the pieces that the French left. But I still say, when those troops came home they deserved respect for doing what they had to do. :thumbsup:
