To the other point I think Montel Williams put it right as he said:
"I went and fought in Vietnam so you could have your freedom of
speech, but sometimes a man, in order to be a man, needs to know when
to keep his mouth shut.


Did Williams really say that? That's close to the most idiotic comment
about Vietnam I've even seen, and I've seen lots of idiotic comments
about Vietnam.

Nothing *national* was at stake in our war against Vietnam except the
abilitt of our military leaders to stay in uniform and the ability of
our military-industrial complex to make a profit. Both groups
accomplished their goals at the cost of 55,000 American lives and about
a million Vietnamese lives.

The reality of Iraq is that while we may have won the fighting, we lost
the war.
