Are you suggesting that the Marine is a liar? He said it was his.

I am also a Vietnam veteran, two tours, and was injured. Didn't lose any limbs, but I also didn't lose my patriotism either. I don't use Vietnam as a crutch to act out against everyone else. By the way, I also served in Desert Storm and was in Baghdad in 2003 and received daily enemy fire. I don't usually mention this, but after reading your posts on here several times, crying about your hard life after Vietnam, I wanted mention that not all of us "veterans" use that time period as a crutch, and an excuse for being bitter at the world. Maybe you didn't volunteer and I did. Maybe that is the difference. I don't know, but I do know that it is not healthy to carry around so much animosity for so long. Having a difference in political ideology is one thing, but to disparage and attack anyone that doesn't agree with you, does not say much for the reason anyone would serve his country. You have a choice as to whether or not you wish to remain bitter toward your country. I chose not to. I fought communism in Vietnam, and now liberals in this country (you?) want to embrace it. Go figure.
