So, I was at a bar tonight (perfect place to talk politics, right?) and I was getting into it with this guy about President Bush, and the war in Iraq, and wars in general. Some how we got on Vietnam, and I pretty much questioned what it was soldiers in the Vietnam war died for, and a few people lost it on me. Leaving me feeling like shit, considering I have an uncle that fought in Vietnam. But to me it seems obvious that Vietnam was as a mistake, and that maybe they died for nothing....or at least nothing worth dying for. Is that just blind patriotism from them, or am I really in the wrong for saying that?
Do you guys think that is a lack of respect, or just a realistic view on Vietnam, years later...considering all that has happened to both sides of the conflict? I can't help but feel that many people died in vain.
Maybe I'm just as asshole.....or drunk.
What do you guys think?
