The communists may have conquered Vietnam, but they did so at great cost to themselves. This was one more nail in the communist coffin.Nicholas Waddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14650770835328089297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511148187940933062.post-40703812114946198772017-10-07T16:24:47.462-04:002017-10-07T16:24:47.462-04:00Dr. Waddy: I am also a Vietnam vet and you eloque...Dr. Waddy: I am also a Vietnam vet and you eloquently expressed what I have long thought about our war. In your article and your previous reply you said almost all. You are right, you are right and the traitors of the '60's are forever dishonored. I would add my view that our effort there was a significant factor in the now almost realized defeat of world communism because the Soviets had to see how devoted we were to destroying their monstrous creed. We were undone, temporarily, by treason itself. It is still regrettably active in our country but your essay advances the effort of the common sense majority in the real America to finally destroy it. Thanx again.

I appreciate the ki...Thank you so much, Anonymous! I appreciate the kind words. If my article helps to restore some honor and renown to the brave Americans who fought in Vietnam, it will have been my honor to write it. Luckily our military is today held in higher esteem than it was in the 60s and 70s, although I fear that, if we get into any wars under President Trump, the left may add the armed forces to the long list of institutions it mocks and derides. Time will tell.Nicholas Waddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14650770835328089297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511148187940933062.post-44474378283003175332017-10-07T09:18:21.047-04:002017-10-07T09:18:21.047-04:00I just read this article in the Lockport Union Sun...I just read this article in the Lockport Union Sun & Journal and I want to profusely thank you for the best understanding of what occurred concerning the Vietnam War. I read all of your submissions and have never disagreed with any of them. At 77 years of age, I well remember this horrendous war but was never able until just to put it all together. The thing that affected me most was the terrible disrespect, bordering on hatred, that so many people had for our brave military who suffered so much physically and emotionally. I love all of our brave Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines and there is a special place in my heart for those who labored so faithfully despite the disgraceful treatment by so many of their fellow citizens.<br /><br />Thank you Dr. Waddy. Please keep up your good work. I was unaware of your website but it is now on my list of required reading.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
