Response to Original message
38. Viet Nam
I remember studying it in world history class in high school and not being able to understand why we had troops there. I remember expressing how perplexed I was to my teacher and her answer implied that she was helplessly unable to explain it in a way that made any sense.

My friends were being drafted to go and die there, yet they were not old enough to vote.
