FIGHTING TWO WARS

My favorite film of Vietnam and the most inaccurate but then again, it is a satire, right? It is not suppose to be factual and it ain't, trust me. But the film has to bear an enormous responsibility in creating the view that Vietnam vets were crazed drug induced soldiers. When we returned from Vietnam, we found we were objects of derision. If we have any legacy, it is that we were treated so badly that Americans who care and not all do, Americans have decided we will honor vets. They are our heroes. So, was it worth it that we had to fight two wars: Vietnam and one at home. In retrospect, I think so.
