Direct your energy in a positive direction
Very few people who served in Vietnam including myself saw any horrors which shows your lack of knowledge in these areas. You presume too much. I give all the credit to the guys who were front line taking all the crap; I was involved in patrolling the coastline stopping junks trying to get contraband into the country. I am not interested in any at-a-boys as I was one of millions of citizens who volunteered to serve this great country of ours in various branches of services.
You just need to do a little more research before you ask people what they are willing to do for this country, especially someone still wet behind the ears like yourself. Because people do not want to get on your bandwagon does not mean they are not patriotic or community minded. Perhaps you need to re-examine your position if you are finding little or no support to your causes, as noble as they are. You and your very tiny band of supporters on this site could better channel your energy by going to the VA hospital and volunteer to help the guys who are coming home without legs instead of organizing group OC protests at Wal-Mart and greasy spoons.
And I thank you for your service. You fought a hard war and I can't imagine the horror you saw.
