Thanks Paul, I appreciate that! My intent for that thread was to bring us Vietnam vets together for support and fellowship. We were severely mistreated by an ungrateful nation and in all honesty it took me personally almost 40 years to finally come to grips with it! I certainly do not enjoy being a type 2 diabetic after literally bathing in dioxin, nor did I particularly want to be divorced twice all because of anger issues and trouble coping in this world not to mention years of drug addiction or alcoholism but that is my cross to bear. I am highly defensive of anyone trying to take anything away from anyone who sacrificed even a little bit whether it be on the ground, in the air, or on the water and to be accused of not feeling that way made me see red!
I will take your advice and cool off for a while and try to thicken my skin...
