My Father in law was in Korea, and I have more than a handfull of friends that were full time military in the Gulf War. And another "hand full plus" that were in Vietnam! Why do they ALL now have full time jobs and were NEVER "forced" to recieve food stamps etc! They saw combat, and the 1's from Vietnam saw MANY MANY more dead friends and comrads than those from DS. I even have a friend that worked in Vietnam on a ship that worked on the cooling for a barge that held the dead patriots! He saw 10's of thousands dead. He did 13 months in Vietnam! Yet he took his experience and is now set for life because of that experience, he built a successful heating and cooling company because of it! While I am sure there are mental images that still haunt them, they know what they did was right. And are getting on with their lives. Which includes getting a job and supporting themselves and their families.
Our Veterans are the greatest Americans! And I personally have never met a Veteran that would trade what they did for the Country even if it ment getting rid of their pain or things they saw!
GOD BLESS AMERICA AND OUR VETERANS!
Oh, BTW, how did I watch a documentary on Discovery channel about how bush was in a plane that was shot down in Vietnam?

Sorry for the edit, I just had to edit to apologize for typing errors, and if I offended veterans that actually saw combat. I am just seeing red right now as to how some people are typing shit negative to the US govt. I personally like Bush, but even if someone doesnt, there is no need to type negative shit during this crisis.
