[QUOTE="edge, post: 152336, member: 5030"] I am sorry, but I think that you missed my point! First, Nixon brought the NVC back to the negotiating table with Rolling Thunder. Peace with Honor speech took place in 1973 at the end of the war, not in 69 when he became President...not that that really matters anyway, as it was not my point. I am not advocating for the use of agent orange or any such thing. BUT I am advocating for tactics that our Politicians refuse to do. Destroy what is in our soldiers way. If a sniper is in a building then the building goes down. Will civilians die, sure, but they can do one of three things: 1) Inform on the enemy; 2) conspire with the enemy; 3) leave the area Now if you want to stop needless soldiers deaths, then make all missions run by and LED by Lt. Colonels and higher. I would love to see some General leading a raid on a high risk mission....but I won't hold my breath! To answer your questions on Viet Nam, the answers are no. I did not graduate from High School until 1972, and my draft number was fairly high and did not come up. But I do thank you for your service to our Country. edge. [/QUOTE]
