Hobbyfarm whadda think about Ron Kovic?

Kovic said "I am a Vietnam vet...Society lied to me, lied to my brothers" 

http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/speaking_truth_on_the_fifth_of_july_20120819/ he sounds less than thrilled with Vietnam and other wars since.  It seems we were in Nam far too long, do we really want to hang not serving in that war around Romney and Biden`s necks?  How `bout chastise Obama for not serving in Grenada?  Where will it stop?

Re: I think all who served

in Korea, viet nam, Iraq and afghanistan were betrayed by their leaders. All were sent into harms way with our country not in jeopardy.

Can't get your link to work.   The trouble with the iraq afgan wars only less that 1% have a skin in them and thats the enlistees and their family the rest of the country could care less as they carry one with their lives.  we provide big support for wealthy farmers but vet are left to fight for the mental and medical  needs.   Prettyy disgusting the military family rely on food stamp while spouse serve in combat zones  What skin do you have in thses wars?.

I believe the Korea war was a treaty obligation and Nam  was to check the spread of communism.  Iraq and afgan were unneeded wars under the pretense of nation building.

I don't really believe Afghanistan belongs on the list.  The U.S. had already been in harms way before entering Afghanistan.  I noticed you didn't include Kosovo on the list.
