I think that although the war in Vietnam was not "won" that something greater has been won at the price of so many lives lost and irrevocably changed because of it. People are no longer, in general, convinced that there is any "glory" in war. Killing people is hard and damaging to the soul. Period. And when the rhetoric is shoved aside and folks understand that they have been used as pawns to further some agenda that they don't necessarily agree with, then further wars of the same ilk are harder to justify by the powers that be. Your country has a very strong "freedom" and "guns" stance which is part of its identity and this is now, being called into question because of this war and the questions it raised. <br />It is interesting times.<br /><br />Although you paid a high price - I don't believe it was for "nothing".Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10900762748835789870noreply@blogger.com
