The
other
vision
is
that
Vietnam
veterans
are
simply
victims
and
should
be
remembered
as
the
58,000
dead
on
a
wall,
or
as
PTSD
victims,
or
Agent
Orange
victims,
drug
addicted,
jobless,
or
homeless.
This is "damning
with
faint
praise"—NOT
honoring
the
majority
who
are
still
alive.
Help those who need help, but truly “honor” all those who deserve it.
There
are
Vietnam
veterans
who
are
proud
of
their
service and proud of the service of their fellow veterans.
There
are
two
visions
of
Vietnam
veterans
today.
One
is
that
Vietnam
veterans were the best military
our
country
ever
had.
They
were
extraordinary
by
serving
more
time
in
combat
than
the
WW
II
veterans,
by
winning
all
the
major
battles,
by
stopping
the
spread
of
Communism
throughout
all
of
Southeast
Asia, by developing weapons, tactics, and
medical
procedures
benefiting
future
military
forces,
and
by
doing
all
this
while
Congress,
anti-war
protesters,
and
the
media
were
maligning
them.
They
won
their
war,
and
Congress
threw
away
what
they
had
won.
They
should
be
held
in
high
respect
and
esteem.
That
is
what
“to
honor” means.
