I will be glad when the word 'Vietnam' plays no part in American politics

At the Fort Worth Star-Telegram in 1981 I heard an editor (no military experience) talking about US aid to El Salvador. “We’re sending weapons and ammunition and advisors. That’s how we got involved in Vietnam.” I turned to someone at the City Desk and said, “It’s amazing how some people don’t know **it about history.”

The editor was repeating what he had heard and read somewhere, sometime.

Now we’ll get it all over again with hearings and stories as Kerry is up for secretary of state and Hagel as defense secretary.

Here is a fact that the rest of the world operates on: The American war in Vietnam don’t mean **it.

Let go, Luke.
