vperl,

I'm happy for the young guys and I hope they have long lives unlike the 2.5 million Nam vets with boots on the ground. Now 850,000 and counting down. We are a dying breed.

Why doesn't any of this surprise me?

And they can't understand why so many of us (and our loved ones) are angry.

The Vietnam war is forgotten and the vets are forgotten. We are held up as a negative image. We are the army that the army wants to forget. Those under 55 in our society never faced the draft. The military is an exotic occupation for about 2% of the population now. You know I sure hated the draft army when I was in it, but I think it was the glue that held the nation together. All us recruits from all walks of life were thrown together. I think that part was a good thing. You know just about every man who came of age during WWII served in the military. They had something in common. That experience has ceased to exist.

No one could have said it better, so true. But, after thinking about it, society had no use for us when we were 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60.....
