Alrighty then. It was pretty close to my personal memories. It was quite a few years ago. My memory isn't as sharp as it use to be. But it serves me well enough to remember that for a hell of a lot of men and women in America and VN...it was not a good time in history. I got my draft notice on Oct 25, 1965.
I was a little over 5 months old when you got drafted.
War is never a good time, however if war is conducted intelligently and properly when it is necessary, then it at least reduces the negative. Vietnam under Johnson was neither conducted intelligently or properly. FDR was perhaps the last president that conducted warfare in an intelligent way. Some might argue for Reagan or H.W. Bush, but undoubtedly Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Clinton, G.W. Bush and Obama all screwed the pooch on it.
