Military service at that time was still regarded by some as a

honorably in WW II and Korea.

That was pretty standard thinking among the people I knew in high
school, and early in the war that sentiment was fairly strong. As the
war went on, the public began to wonder what we were accomplishing.
When people began to distrust what the government was reporting about
the war, the sentiment changed.

You mean what those Democrats were reporting. JFK and LBJ were both
Democrats. It was..as nearly all wars in the past 100 yrs have
been...Democrat cluster****s.

Oh, Gunner, and here we thought you believed the war was a good idea. So did
LBJ, although there's some question about what JFK thought just before he
was killed.

Jeez, you even re-enlisted. What happened, did you wake from your slumber
and realize the whole thing was, as you say, a cluster****? A little late,
weren't you?
