So many of the career public servants that are testifying in the impeachment inquiry are Vietnam Veterans.
While we were fighting the war private bone spur was beginning his life of crime.

(7,220 posts)State Department working in Afghanistan, then Iraq, then Jerusalem, and finally Ukraine. He's served under every president since 1985.
He's person of the year in my book. Him and also add in Marie Yovanovitch, being the first to step forward and spill everything.

(16,927 posts)Foreign Service/State Department veterans stepping forward to correct what has been a serious disregard and dishonoring of the career members of the State Department. These are professionals who have devoted their lives to respect, honor, serve, and proudly work to show the greatness of these United States, only to have IQ45 and his band of thieves storm in and try to destroy the code of honor under which these people work.
It's PAY BACK TIME - and ain't it a BITCH!!!!

(12,412 posts)It breaks my heart when I see VN vets stumping for Trump, or any Republican. The sacrifices made to bring them home have never been recognized, not even a thank you. Thousands pledged time and careers, families were torn apart, students lay dead in Ohio. Visiting our Memorial I can't help but shed tears for the thousands on the wall directly as a result of Nixon and Kissengers betrayal beyond tears already shed.
If our vets were to waken to the issues presented today by the mad man in our WH it would bring a needed healing closer

I just can't bring myself to pay it a visit.
And I still know people who were assholes to me when I
returned. They haven't changed. Piss on em.

(4,516 posts)I came home in March 1968. Even though it is believed here that it didnt happen, I was spat on at SFO. My brother called me a baby killer. I could not put on an application the I was Vietnam vet because we were thought of as walking time bombs.
For years I was bitter then I went to the wall. I looked up friends I knew were listed there.
I was finally able to put the war behind me, the Wall brings closure.
