  We (The United States) killed between 4 and 6 million people in SE Asia - most were civilians. We did this, in large, measure because the U.S.  thought there were oil deposits there (troops were told something about commies).  The group that showed the greatest disrespect towards veterans returning from Vietnam, BTW, was not on "the left" (many on "the left" were vets) but it was the folks running the VFW.  And have you forgotten about the Vietnam Veterans Against the War?  Those guys marched on the Republican Convention in Miami and, I think, are the folks that are really responsible for ending the war because they scared the heck out of the government. Quit trying to make up history and lying about what really happened Flyguy, if you're offended by the truth, you would do yourself well to read some history books.
