You're right, of course, we should never blame Veterans for the decisions of the people who conned them. But those veterans who are angry at their leaders are justified in being angry imo. If you're not angry that's nbd to me, but I'm not sure how proud you should be of serving in 'nam and the like
We don't need to accept the war in order to appreciated the sacrifice of those that served.
I have a ton of empathy for Vietnam Vets. They didn't have the Good vs Evil dichotomy that other Vets had and they didn't get the support troops get today - they kinda got the opposite.
And to the OP, I'd rather give a con some love than disrespect a man who had part of his life destroyed by war.
