I am a veteran of the most useless war ever fought by this nation (to my knowledge). That is Vietnam. I have been in an almost constant rage since I returned from Vietnam to attend my father’s funeral and was told, along with about 500 other GIs, that we should not wear our uniform when we were off a military reservation due to the anti-military feelings of some Americans. I don’t know whether to hate the politicians who sent me there, the Americans who hated me for being there, or the great silent majority who did what they always do best; they remained silent. I suppose I’ll go to my grave feeling this way, because I don’t intend to ever forgive any of them.
I just wish I had known of someone like you when I came home. It would have probably have made things easier.
You are a good man Ben Stein.
