Can't and won't apologise for my father's service in WWII, Korea or Nam.
Dad got shot a few times. Don't think those "babies" weren't firing back.

Dad's job in 'Nam was to write back to the folks back home whose kids had
been killed. You think that was easy? Think again. He got many letters of
thanks because he made them sound brave and all in the service of the
country and all that. Fact is, most of them were stupid. Don't touch that
landmine! Oh, so what does the guy do? He touches the landmine.

BTW, WE didn't put them there... the Cong did. Support the 'Nam Government,
why doncha? Pull a Jane Fonda. They are the ones who blew the heads off
their own people, not us (U.S.) I don't and never have supported that
military action but I don't blame my father for doing his job.
