I think wow we just walked away from this winable war, and in doing so we walked away from the sacrifices these brave men made for their country. I say their names out loud when I read their storys, may be silly but it feels like a respectful and honering thing to do. I stopped reading the books on LRRPs because of the way I felt about us walking away. But I think I am not honoring them by not learning about them in these books and storys.

I also read the Vietnam magazine since it came out and I have read every magazine since. I also surprise to hear that many Vietnam veteran has not heard of the magazine. I also served in Veitnam (1967-1968) and I'am damn proud of it. I have read this article from start to finish and I found it enlightening.
