Glad to hear that all of our stereotypes are alive and well . I love bumpin' heads with these people, especially the one's that were never there. Thanks, Andy. Sounds like you more than held your own.

The most unpopular war in American History

Was the Mexican War. President Polk even arranged a "border incident" a la Nazi Germany and Poland. It was a declared war so I guess it was moral. Wars lasting longer than six weeks without a draft: Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Mexican War, Spanish-American War.

Andy :

You done good !! If there are any video tapes of this, I would love to have a copy. For those surfing by this site, and don't know, many of the scruffy, bearded, smelly, losers who have passed themselves off as Vietnam veterans for the past 35+ years...were, in many cases, not in the military at all, and those that were, were not even in combat.

We suffered, and are better for it.
