Vietnam

This is Vietnam nostalgic week ( this my term). Documentaries on the draft, fall of Saigon, etc., then there is the one on Nixon that was sbsolutly amazing. Of course, various ones seeing things from their perspective. Nixon going out into the crowds and being very human. 

I see him as a sorry , MFer, prided to get us out of war when in fact he ended up prolonging g it. At the te henprised, there were something like 6000 casualties. By the time it was over, closing in on 40000. What astounds me is thatVietnam taught us nothing. One would think, the country goes through a traatizing experience like Vietmam and they say," never again." The mantra rather becomes, "never again till next time." Pretty disconcerting to me
