Re: Vietnam War Anniversary



Thank you, Ronnie, for your voice of reason - and may I add that, "Those
who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it" (or something along
those lines....)   - jill.

I don't believe that any study of history can be considered Monday morning
quarterbacking.  Otherwise why would we study it at all.  It is important
to continually look at Vietnam from many points of view: political,
historical, military and,  importantly, the affects it had on American
society for so many years (and, apparently, still has).  It continues to be
a divisive subject, but one of which I'd like to know more.

I suspect the Vietnam War had a similar affect on Australian society, too,
and on any nation, on either side, that was involved in it.

Thank you all for your comments.
