It is too bad that LBJ, Tricky Dickey, the "other" Ford, Ronnie Reagan, Senior Bush and Junior Bush, with greedy Dickey Cheney could not have been in those swamps and rice paddies to experience this, also, as their actions to cause the Vietnam War and the Gulf War and the current Iraq War is what brought all this type of action on.
At last you found the words, touching and moving, to give your respect not only to this girl but to all the wasted lives of the people who died on both sides.
I love one like you. He cannot read your story, because it renews his pain. I can, and in doing so, can understand how much he hurts.
I feel I have lived many horrors in my life, and then sometimes when I read something like this I know many of the things I have been through are only a drop in the ocean compared to what others have lived. Thank you for having courage to share, and thank you for your service to our country.
