I don't for a second dishonour those that fought in Vietnam. My Father did two tours commanding an artillery battery. He was there when I was born, he was there when both of my sisters were born as well.
It was most definitely not a victory.
I salute to your Father, Hangtime and other Vietnam veterans.
One of the most impressive experiences I had was in Been Leigh (sp?) QLD, in an underground parking lot, where I smoked in bench where I saw some cig butts laying around. I policman or a security guard, I can't tell you, never seen AU police in 2 months, came to me and asked me to stop smoking, I said I am sorry and started to put out a cig against my sole, but he said no, let me show you a place where you can smoke. He had a medal band? sign? don't know a correct word, on his uniform, and when I asked - he said he was in Vietnam, so that's how I learned ANZAC have been to vietnam! I was really stunned... Such a sane country joining such an adventure...
Meanwhile BBC reporter keeps showing a GE map pathetically unable to correctly pronounce the town names...
Full moon and a lunar eclipse? may be that's a reason?
