I really never could understand this mentality and why the soldiers were treated like this. I also hope it never ever happens again. Our military has been there to provide the life I currently have and I owe everything to them. My way of life my family all of that would more than likely not be here if it was not for our soldiers. The people that treated them horribly should be ashamed! My grandfather served in Vietnam and really won’t talk about it and I respect that. I do know for generations that never were there or experienced Vietnam….the more Vietnam vets speak about it the more we learn and can make sure the way they were treated never happens again, so I do wish my grandpa would talk about it but I do understand why he doesn’t. Reading about in history books is completely different than real world experiences. The experiences whether good or bad help younger generations understand and give an insight into what took place with the hope of never repeating what took place. DB..thanks for sharing, welcome home. Thank you for your service. Thank you for the freedom I currently enjoy. This goes to all military..vets..and currently serving. You have my utmost respect.</p></blockquote><p></p>
