I had very strong feelings about it from the beginning ('62, '63, etc.), and
thought that we should not get involved, or if we were going to be involved,
it should be resolved quickly and decisively. It was very frustrating to me
to so easily see "it" coming, but the government know-it-alls could not seem
to see it. Well, we got involved slowly and gradually and the government
"played" at war for over 10 years; we finally really fought the war for only
those 11 days, quickly and decisively, in Dec '72.
The Vietnam war ranks with slavery and the Civil War as one of the nation's
greatest tragedies. (Slavery #1, Civil War #2, Vietnam War #3)

It is interesting how the world changes, the filthy godless commie reds
took over, and now look at them. Hardly seems worth it, huh?

# 2 son is in Hanoi right now for 10 days on photography assignment. On
my several trips there in Dec, 1972, the locals were very serious about
trying to kill me. They didn't seem to appreciate the 108 500 and
750-pound "calling cards" I left each time. 'Glad son can visit under
much friendlier circumstances.
