At my church for Veterans Day, we honoured veterans. The veterans from Vietnam and WW2 just lacked the whole politically wcorrect attitude and it was refreshing. Even this current war in Iraq, just puzzles me becuase my husband gets briefed(he's in the army)on how to adapt to the iraqi's culture and religion. They give them manuals on how they act over there, so we do not offend them. But these WW2 and Vietnam vets when they stood up and said their little say about their experience, they said things like: I joined the day the Japs bombed Pearl Harbor,or.. I was about to be deployed to Japan when we got news that they nuked the japs and we all got to go home..now, it is not very popular to act like that,oh and to people who will say we killed lots of innocent people that day, well, if we would have went into Japan on foot, thousands more of American lives would have been lost, as well as Japanese, ..i guess i just wonder what happened to that America??
