memories of Vietnam the press will never have
Rereading Vietnam, by Robert Kaplan, at the Atlantic, recalling Bud Day, a living military hero of the Vietnam era.
Via Cassandra, Glenn Reynolds, and Stephen Green.
“The Vietnam analogy looms ever larger in the debate over Iraq, but the U.S. military has memories of that conflict that the public doesn’t.”
Take THAT, Mr. Christmas in Cambodia.
Yes, Virginia, in spite of the media never admitting we have them, we still do have our heroes.

The Bud Kaplan article still has my mind reeling… wow. A lot of common sense and truth. Jean Larthguy would be an interesting read. The article itself had a lot to absorb just in 3 long pages. Thanks for the link to it.
