Dad served 2 tours in Vietnam. 20 years. Retired as a Major out of Fort Carson. He did his the hard way. Enlisted and went to Vietnam. Went through OCS when he got back.

Unfortunately...20 years of indoctrination have taken his ability to think and he drinks the kool-aid every day.

But I love him just the same. I am anti-war. And he knows it. I blame the Vietnam war on the break-up of our family. He went from being a passive guy...to being extremely violent. It took him 20 years of therapy to get beyond the anger. He has found peace again but he still has trouble talking about his time over there.

That's how I explained to him why there is no way I could ever support war. And he respects that. But he's still a Bush lover. Unfortunately.
