    I have watched quite a few Vietnam War documentaries. Every one of them makes my stomach churn. I am so so sorry for all that served and didn't get the honor and respect that every one of them deserve. I love you all and pray for you all. Thank-you and thank-you for what you did.. Gods blessings on you all. Amen...

    Thank you Arizona! A tough job and well done. The Vietnam Veterans were as potent a fighting force as the USA ever assembled. Why they were treated with disdain, scorn and contempt upon their return is the greatest shame in our entire USA History. I do not have any idea what must have been going through their minds. Shame on them and may they burn and rot in Hell for these most horrendous acts. Today people don't even care-its not as bad-but its still awful. 16 years in Afghanistan-and still no light at the end of the tunnel. I could never blame a soldier-a politician-you bet.

      The treatment of our returning troops from Vietnam was the greatest crime committed by our domestic enemies. Also being sent there in the 1st place by our cowardly & corrupt politicians was a close second act of betrayal. There treatment by the media was another act of betrayal. The Vietnam vets as well as any returning vets are true heroes & should be given some form of reparations for their sacrifices and bravery.

    You must have missed Kingman, Az. Me and another kid from Kingman ended up in the 9th Infantry Division 2nd Brigade which was the Mobile Riverine Force. Both of us survived but each of us were wounded. A good friend from training, Jerry Hurd from Casa Grande Arizona, was in Charlie Company and tried to break through to relieve my B Company on Valentines Day 1968 and was killed. God Bless him. He is engraved in front of the Capitol Building in Arizona. He will always be engraved on my soul.

    When my Uncle George came back on March 1972 when I was just shy of 4 years old at Sky Harbor Airport. I was waiting for him at the terminal along with my parents and family coming home from Vietnam via Fort Campbell Kentucky. I saw him in his awesome looking dress greens as a Paratrooper NCO of the 101st Airborne. I then saw a beer can being thrown at him by some guy who was wearing a buckskin hat and jacket and calling him a "Motherfucker!". I saw my Uncle George run up to him and kick this dude in the nuts and kick and head stomped him bloody until he started crying bad. Uncle George did not stop until the cops grabbed him and took him back to us. That fucking Hippie got arrested. I saw my Uncle George with rage and tears in his eyes that nobody will ever spit on a Paratrooper and will not take shit from any cock sucker. Uncle George was not a man to be fucked with. Arizonan combat veterans are proud and patriotic. Never mess with a rattlesnake, because it can kill you.

    I went to army, JNA (Jugoslav folks army), i was 18 years young. It's so wrong to force so young kids to learn killing techniques. When you are so young and unexperienced, you are "tabula rasa", anybody above your rank can make you do anything. I was lucky there was no war. It arived 3 years later. Then i was part of Croatian army. Been lucky, never been in great danger. The worst was hooking on heroin, it destroyed my life. My whole generation was infected, you could not find marihuana,but heroin was cheap and everywhere. I smell a conspiracy

    IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE THAT Our Combat training didn't rival that of the Vietnamese. This was not America's first encounter with war. Perhaps it was the topography, perhapes we thought our efforts would make short work of the Vietnamese combat forces. America was only a few years out of Korea, and several more from WW 2. What in the world happened to our fighting skills, leadership, and the tenacity of the American military?

    It may have been an unpopular time and unpopular war but hundred's of thousands of loyal Americans answered the call and fought there heart's out and had the war won a few times but Washington big wig politicians would stop the troops from following through and finishing the war. Vietnam vet's deserve ultimate respect for fighting a brutal enemy. Im not just talking out of my ass I know the truth. My father comes from a family of 20 and yeah my grandparents were very busy lol😂. So anyways there was 13 boys and 6 of them was drafted and they all made it back a couple with shrapnel wounds with purple hearts but all 6 say the mental wounds are the worst. They all have PTSD from the mental scars.

    My cousin died in Viet nam for no reason every soldier and service person had to fight with their hands tied behind their back 58 thousand people died because our leadership would not let them win. They are all heros and for the commander in chief not to unleash the might of America was a travesty. That war could have been won in a year if they our guys do their job . This is what a Kamilla presidency would do except it will be WWIII and she would start it and lose it along with America. These realizations are why we need Trump on Nov 5 these wars currently going on would not be and he would protect this country from the worst war ever The invasion at the southern border as our country already has a huge Foreign army already in our country. THIS BECAUSE OF THE Enemy FROM WITH THE ELECTED OFFICIALS IN CHARGE THAT CANT DIPLOMATICALLY STOP Wars and then lose them just as our country is being invaded today TRUMP#47 NOV 5 🇺🇸 WE CAN NEVER BE OPEN TO LOSING AMERICA AS WE ARE TODAY.

    Welcome Home!.
    I apologize for the way our Country's "Snowflakes and hippies" treated You when You returned.
    They wanted the Goverment to bring our Servicemembers home just to insult them, mistreat them and humiliate them meaning that our own Citizens turned their back on You guys.
    Thank You for the sacrifices that You made in order to Serve our Country.
    Only the ones that were there or have Served would understand.
    SEMPER FI BROTHERS!.
