Or do you mean those guys who had to kill in order to survive only to come home with one leg/arm short and were called "babykiller"

The media is going to play war on this one, it will show the world how Americans will kill kids and women to survive. This will be a ground war.

You come back as a hero? Don't bet on it, there are already anit war demonstrations all over the world, and the "babykiller" signs have already climbed out of the long forgotten closet.

For those who are to young, for those who don't remember. Talk to some Vietnam Vets and ask them if they are considered heros.

And Vietnam was never a war it was a conflict.

I hope it doesn't come to it, but there are so many rights and religious people in the world and expecially in the US, Let the first picture of a dead child come over the american tv and sit back and watch the public spew hate slogans at the fighters of liberty, peace and freedom.

Watch and see!

Been there, done that, lost enough friends,, not going there again
Hey, I have an idea. While you are asking those vietmam veterans whether or not they are heros, why don't you try and convince them it wasn't a war...

I served with vets from nam (for a short time before forced retirement) to desert storm. No, none of them would consider themselves heros. While you do not think so either, to me they are heros just for ENDURING it. Same as any WOMAN to me is a hero for surviving an abusive relationship. Both very traumatic and some people never make it back to the real world in EITHER case.
