I am a Vietnam Vet who spent the entire decade of the 60′s in the Marine Corps. I was totally appalled at the things I saw in the United States.(I spent eight of those ten years overseas.) It certainly made me think that I was fighting for a country that lacked moral standards, loyalty to the country that gave them the right to protest, and patriotism to support the things that made the U.S. a strong country to stand for freedom. Those same things are currently lacking in our country today, which I believe is a direct result of the culture of that period. I am not a warmonger, and have seen the ravages of war and destruction, but for the U. S. to not fight for freedoms around the world is like handing our freedoms to tyrants on a silver platter and saying let me be your slave.
