I
am a proud veteran of the longest war that has ever been fought by the
United States
the Vietnam
war. I served my country willingly as a combat infantry soldier with the
U.S. Army from 1969-1971.
From
September 8th, 1969 to September 8th, 1970, I
served as a rifleman and 81mm mortar man with the 4th
Infantry Division in the II Corp Region of the Central Highlands near
the Cambodian border of what was the country of the
Republic
of
South Vietnam.
Today,
Vietnam is a unified nation under a brutal, vicious, Communist
government. This is not what the 58,000 Americans who were killed and
the 300,000 that were wounded, and the 2,500 American prisoners of war
who were abandoned fought to establish!
Now
we see the same pattern of the betrayal taking form in the so-called
War on Terrorism. The political leadership of BOTH MAJOR PARTIES
the current Repugnant Republicans and the Decadent Democrats of the
past and present, are prepared to waste the lives of thousands of
Americans in a war they say could last 20 YEARS or longer!
