I find the current attacks on Senator Kerry’s Vietnam record highly disturbing. When will we stop letting the Vietnam War take more casualties? Every few years the national guilt runs over and someone else is sacrificed on the altar of self-righteousness. A lifetime of service and contribution is discredited and destroyed because of the dictates of conscience or a few moments in Hell while in service to country. When will the Vietnam era vets have paid enough? Why must we keep opening the old wounds and reawakening the nightmare? Let it end! Please!
No one was guilt free in that war. Not the country’s leaders. Not the Veterans who served. Not the protesters who didn’t. Not the cheerleaders who blindly supported it. Not anyone! The guilt will never subside until we all join together in one giant chorus of “I’m sorry! Forgive me!”
It’s past time to let the country heal and put it behind us. It’s past time to let the Veteran’s heal. Please let me heal! Forgive me. Please!
