You post a lot of good info and opinions on Vietnam thanks
As a matter of fact, I had 2 brother-in-laws and they were both Vietnam vets. Both were army. Neither of them were fond of McCain and they I knew the stories long before I ever read them on the internet because of both of them. One of them was from Arkansas and he knew the Bill Clinton story and that's why he didn't like Clinton because of the draft dodger thing.
They were both married to my older sister at different times. The first one died because of injuries and things he contracted in Vietnam and the other one died of cancer and right before he died, he received a check from the Gov't for things that doctors believe he died from that were directly related to his service in Vietnam also or his family did. I can't remember if he was still alive when they finally came through or his family got the money. My sister didn't need it or want it so she gave it to his kids even though they were all adults.
