I’m a Viet Nam Vet. I believe war is the ultimate example of human failure of reason and sanity. However, I recognize that countries need to protect their citizens as best they can from bellicose countries. I did not believe Viet Nam met this criteria as the war did not involve us until we interjected ourselves into a civil war after General DeGaul blackmailed us to protect French colonialism.

Russia is a big threat to all of Europe and Europe is integral to our security. Therefore, I loved the video and support its message.

Well said, Jim. Viet Nam was also needlessly prolonged for political reasons.

Thank you. You're my hero.💙🙏🏻

I cannot imagine what those young men in the D-Day landing crafts were thinking as they neared the Normandy beaches.

I can only hope and try to live a life that is decent and good enough to justify their sacrifices.

Lorraine, I have a serious question for you since you are so well connected. Is it true that one of the networks—not Fox— is working on a new soap opera based upon Trumpery with a name “As the Stomach Turns”?

Ha ha ha!

But seriously, Trump's team is trying to block the sale of 'The Apprentice' the movie, and has sent a cease and desist letter to the filmmakers behind the biopic.

The viewpoint on the Wall is stunning. I had no idea it took all that distance to properly recognize and witness those 50,000 plus Vietnam Vets' who gave everything. Thank you for including that image. I was a protestor of that war. The appalling "welcome home" those Vets got ... that, too, was stunning. They simply signed up or were drafted. The war wasn't their idea. They just served and risked their lives. SMH.

Thanks for reading Carol!

Yes, that place is so moving. It's overwhelming. Maybe the lost souls found their home there. It has a powerful energy.
