Agreed. Making this one was emotional. I know too many who were forever changed (not all for the better) for their involvement in Vietnam. Wars are waged by politicians but fought by men. Our "leaders" have rarely ever known the price of the games they play. The video was requested by a couple of folks who served...I added a few earlier images for context on how the soldiers were portrayed.

Clint, we are both singing from the same hymn sheet on this one. There is much I could say about the helmet cover personalised messages but I won't. The only other comment is WW1 and WW11 were necessary but Vietnam war was purely an ideological conflict. DougT 🇫🇴
Agreed completely. Ideological as well as a dick-measuring contest. And an entire generation and country were destroyed in the process. Nice going, JFK, LBJ, Nixon, and whoever else was involved. I put no politicians on pedestals. Standom in politics is common here and it's...exhausting. They're all crooks and cowards (to some degree at least). That's how our political system has always worked. I don't see it changing anytime soon. It's just a matter of which crook/party is less crooked. I know which one I'm voting for. :-p
