At one time in my life I probably believed that returning Vets would not be used for political purposes or for the simple motivation of making money. Vietnam disavowed me of that notion for good and Hollywood and any number of politicos have totally reinforced that early conviction along the journey and to this very point in time. Anyone that has been to war knows nothing is as it seems and the most uncommon thing to be found is ?Truth?. There are perceptions, experiences, impressions, absolutes, the full list of emotions and more, much more, but no one can see the full picture. By definition, half the picture is hidden by the enemy and other assorted political opponents.
So a ?not for profit? site claims to have the ?Truth?? Maybe there are factual stories, impressions, experiences and things of that nature, maybe. But a ?not for profit? driving an obvious political agenda and claiming ?truth? is a field of flashing red lights and due caution is needed before taking anything to the bank as an absolute. I?d like to hear what those Vets have to say outside an edited and closely chaperoned communication environment. Then a look at the site books perhaps, and really see what their version of ?not for profit? amounts to and exactly who the donors are. Therein the truth will be found, maybe, but this is not to be and instead all that can be relied upon is the veracity and ethics of the site creator and presumed boss man.
