Dave..I didn't know you were a veteran. I can't imagine how it would be to actually shoot people and get shot at and also watch your buddies get blown away. It is so sick that the world is populated by so many people that want to kill each other. When I was at the Unioversity of Washington in the 70s I was surrounded by protest and it turns out for good reason. My most clear memories are of friends who had to go fight and die in Viet Nam. Some of them came back pretty scarred by what they did and saw. One friend was in on what you saw in Apocolyps Now..Heads on sticks and scalps on their belts...running PT boats up the Mekong Delta...That sucks bad. We are pretty darn lucky that we have young men and women willing to go through that kind of thing so we can sit here and complain about everything.
