RE: Viet Nam Vets Wall Defaced!
My girlfriend and I was at The Wall this past weekend. I noticed it but thought maybe it was candle wax or some type of oil from lanterns or something. Most of the damage was on the sidewalk area and not the actual wall itself from what I could see.

Unbelievable. But then again, I find it hard to comprehend the treatment these guys got when they came home from 'Nam too. America may be a great country (I truly believe it is), but we are just as capable of producing human garbage as anybody...and unfortunately the guys with their names on this memorial gave them the right and the ability to be that way. Ironic, ain't it?

His plane was re-routed when he came back into California because protesters were shooting soldiers as they got off their plane. Served andLived through a war and your own people kill you.
Probably the same people criticizing Iraq and Afghanistan. Live in freedom and never gave anything for it.
On a side note - I didn't serve but my family suffered immensely because my Dad did (Agent Orange Cancers/Diabetes, PTSD and misc related illnesses). All three ofhis kids were born after the war,its strange we all weighed in at a little over 4 pounds when born, all have gouty arthritis, various health problems and problems from living in ahouse that was dark andlocked-up all the time (very tense at times). Thanks Uncle Sam.
However, the cost of war is very high and it affects generations but I will take it over the alternative any day.

We need to be more like Israel . EVERY citizen over the age of 18 MUST serve at least 2 years in some capacity of the military. NOT the Reserves. No Exceptions for ANY reason. If disabled, you can still serve at a desk. This would give these punks that don't understand, a brand new perspective. I believe that you would see a large change in this country if we were to do this. Maybe even a change in our elected officials when THIER kids have to go and serve in active duty.
