Thank you for your service! My youngest brother served in the army during the Vietnam war. He was over there with the 101st Airborne Division. Thank God he came back okay...minor shrapnel wound near his collar bone, healed rapidly. I was an Air Force bomber mechanic/crew chief in the middle 1950's...no combat, but my airplane and crew became Strategic Air Command select combat ready and had a target in the USSR assigned, my aerial observer/bombadier showed me the radar image of it. He had to draw it freehand from memory with all the co-ordinates. The airplane armed with a nuclear weapon would have had to have 2 air refuelings to make it to the target from our base in Florida or one from the overseas bases in Morocco we went to on 100 day rotational deployments each year. There were several bases in, Turkey, North Africa, and Saudi Arabia where they could have returned to if they by some chance survived the mission.... The way this country of ours supported and treated the general military and especially the returning troops from Vietnam was despicable....The government and the general population should be totally ashamed and never let this happen again. I have the utmost respect for any and all people who have honorably served in our armed forces...in peace and in war.
