I know Vietnam vets that see the war many different ways some see the entire thing as having been a mistake others feel like the leadership got it wrong others feel that the protesters made us loose.

My dad is the type that feels that getting involved in the first place was wrong.Now he was LRRP a recon man so he knew how the enemy fought and could see what was going down more than the average infantryman would have.

I did a few months TDY in Afghanistan but I was a maintenance man a mechanic so I did not know usually what was going on out side the wire so to speak.I would say that maybe at one point we had the right idea in Afghanistan but got lost along the way somewhere.I have a brother that has done a few tours there as a Marine officer he has not said much about how he feels so I don't ask if he wanted to say he would.
