There were pro-American Vietnamese as well, despite the fact that we were
shattering their country and killing millions. One can acknowledge this
without endorsing an invasion. I too grow weary of lefties who appear
anxious to wallow in negativity, as if that's some kind of Real Rad Cred.
How do you expect to talk this soldier, who apparently has soured on Bush's
action, if you call him a liar to his face? Is that the plan?
