I posted a link "Freedom not Terror". There are some very passionate comments. I recalled seeing a reference to Vietnam. Also, I came across a post by @SSgt Andy Nguyen that asked the question, "Are you prepared to see the new Vietnam alongside the old one"? Then still, I am on the Warriors For Life Veterans Support Zoom calls where the subject of Vietnam Veterans come up.
For the Vietnam Veterans on RP, I want you to know there were as many people of all walks of life protesting that war, as there were blaming you, the soldier. They were also marching to bring you home. The outcry was great.

Yep, I was on both sides of that Coin.I was 18 in the National Guard ...in Ohio. In May of 1970. I was also there at the Airport when my brother came home from Nam after TET. One day he was in the Jungle the next day he was home. Passionate stances all around. And more than a few who understood blame the war not the warrior. And there were bad actors, and con artists galore...in every arena from Politics to Protests.....and the cycle hasn't stopped...yet.

@SGT Kevin Hughes you have all of my respect. I did not understand anything until I served.

I'm sure that is still going through the heads of troops that went through that BS. I saw it in 72 when shipping to the far east at San Fran. wasn't so bad coming home as the war ended while I was in the far east. Some of them being subjected to the protester were people from my home town and they still talk about the greeting they got both on the way over and the way home

Sgt Jim Belanus and there we have it, the emotional pain is tormenting because the words are locked in the memory and heart. Every Vietnam Veteran I have encountered has either not been able to voice the pain or the pain would come out as agony.

A1C Medrick "Rick" DeVaney La Palazada by Lucho, of course I can tell by the chords, it is very festive. So, as well as enjoying the outing, did you learn the language?
