I was too young to understand what the Vietnam war was about but this " monument " to the 58,000 women and men who died from the USA, not including the New Zealanders and Aussies that laid their life's on the line for what......what did America accomplish and who won and what was the resulting advantage to the USA ??? Yes I'm bit pee'd at the moment because I think of all the destruction, death and have to ask why ? Has the American people asked why the Government of the day decide to drop two atom bombs on Japan when "they " knew the Japanese where going to surrender before those aircraft were even air borne ? You people seem to think that you are the worlds greatest country and leaders but , hell when you stop and think about it,you are all so screwed up saluting the darn flag, you don't notice young men going off the tracks resulting in unnecessary killings. Wake up folks and get your own back yard tidied before you force your opinions on somebody else I say. Oh another fact too, how is the Vet's that have been lucky enough to return home been looked after... ? That me, I am out of here, Food for thought eh....
