Re: 49 years ago: Saigon falls to NVA - the Vietnam war is o

My Mom's dying wish was to see the wall in DC.

I had a deferment, then a high lottery number. I did not serve.

I remember starting college and seeing young men a few years older than me walking with canes.

Pro war people at the time used the domino theory as a reason to fight the war. The second domino never fell.

A friend vacationed there last week.

I remember Johnson's speech on the gulf of Tonkin incident. Apparently his speech was a lie to increase our forces in Vietnam.

Our military learned a lot from the war.

Not sure our leaders did.

Civil wars are bad things, stay away.

One thing I learned, you never go to war without a declaration of war. And if you do it is total war to win using everything you have. You should never have a kinda war.
