'68 was 36 years ago. A person's memory is bound to be fuzzy.

I find that only the rather aged on this board concern themselves with Kerry's and Bush's Vietnam-era past. In "Logan's Run," a 36-year-old wouldn't be able to vote because they'd already be dead .

But I digress: to me, all things concerning the Vietnam war stopped in 1975 when we pulled out. Knowing our inability to be effective during that conflict, but our continual visits back to it particularly in light of a presidential election, is very sick and ironic. After all, we did lose that war. Now we hold it up as if the losing cause that was Vietman is some rite to passage for the most powerful leader in the free world; i.e. the president.

Very odd.
