<p>“I think that many, many members of my generation are having a very hard time differentiating between this war and Vietnam.”</p>
<p>Did they support the Johnson administration back then? He was a democrat you know…:)</p>
<p>There is a similarity about both wars. Both are being poorly fought. Not by the forces there, but by those here at home. </p>
<p>Just like Johnson, they are fighting a political war. Those types of conflicts rarely work out. The question becomes who will be the next Nixon? Not the watergate Nixon, the other one who ended the war and as a result made the WALL have fewer names. You have to understand it is not UNamerican to expect more from our leadership. </p>
<p>You have to be careful with your personal attacks on some here, I’m sure I’m due next. Dad was on WAKE (aka the alamo of the pacific), spent years in a pow camp. Brother was a lrrp (lurp) in nam for his tours. Please don’t loosely imply I’m unamerican because I expect, no demand, more from our leaders than soundbites. </p>
<p>Personally my view is we shouldn’t let anyone from TEXAS be president… big on ideas and small on plans.</p>
