Agree, I volunteered for Vietnam in 1965. My parents thought it was one of many mistakes I made during my informative years.

The point is: some liberal just wants to take a jab at the NRA!! I'm a Life member of the NRA and a Viet vet!! It's all part of the liberal chant, take away the guns and everyone will be singing Kum ba ya and scattering flower petals and hugging muslims!

I was a Crew Chief on AC-130 Gunship and I could never understand exiting an aircraft while aloft unless it was going down!

In the '60's I wasn't in grade school I was in the 82nd Airborne Division doing recon in Vietnam. When I returned I reentered the US through Oakland Army Terminal in Calif. I wanted a few days leave and when I walked out of the small base in Oakland I had garbage thrown at me by protesting hippies. I can not begin to tell you how that made me feel. How it made me wonder of the 7 in our company that did not come back. What was our effort for? I did it so this bunch of low life's could holler and scream at me and desecrate the uniform that I wore.

Well what can I say it was just a product of the times. You could tell yourself that they really did not know what they were doing and we did not ask to go there but it did make you angry.
