I had friends and people close to me die in Vietnam. I hear jokes and derogatory remarks about that war , even today. ""We shouldn't have been there" "what a waste of lives" etc. etc.
Well, after alot of soul-searching, I have dealt with it and it has healed. No matter what anybody says, I can deal with it and it doesn't hurt anymore. I have moved on. Say what you want, it is only words.

I am just glad to see the troops coming home now get the welcome that we didn't get.

My point? Life is to short to dwell in the past.
