As for the reinflation, the fellow who started the other thread felt that even though we might have lost the Vietnam War, it enabled us to win the Cold War, so we were just discussing the issue.

Yes, I read most of that thread. I enjoyed your responses and points. I understand why the thread evolved the way it did. And just for the record, I have, over the years, learned much from your usually cogent posts.

Vietnam - it feels like a giant train wreck all done in slow motion in my mind - and like a sickly darkness that disturbs my entire early years, with repercussions that still reverberate. I'm sure many feel the same way.

Sometimes we were evil and bad and vindictive. Just like all human beings.

I agree, but there is no surprise in that I suppose.

Anyway, I think I'm done with all this - at least on a public forum.

Take care my friend.
