I am proud that a group of brother Vietnam Veterans will bring trump down. Bill Taylor et. al.

So many of the career public servants that are testifying in the impeachment inquiry are Vietnam Veterans.

While we were fighting the war private bone spur was beginning his life of crime.

1. Did not know Taylor was a Vietnam vet

You are so right!

[leftieNanner]

2. Wish there was a rank below Private

Because Bone Spurs doesn't work hard enough or have the dignity or patriotism to earn even that. From what I understand, boot camp would chew him up and spit him out.

3. Taylor: cadet at West Point, 101st Airbone in Vietnam as an infantry officer, Dept of Energy, NATO,

State Department working in Afghanistan, then Iraq, then Jerusalem, and finally Ukraine. He's served under every president since 1985.

He's person of the year in my book. Him and also add in Marie Yovanovitch, being the first to step forward and spill everything.

8. I am thrilled to see

Foreign Service/State Department veterans stepping forward to correct what has been a serious disregard and dishonoring of the career members of the State Department. These are professionals who have devoted their lives to respect, honor, serve, and proudly work to show the greatness of these United States, only to have IQ45 and his band of thieves storm in and try to destroy the code of honor under which these people work.

It's PAY BACK TIME - and ain't it a BITCH!!!!

4. A West Pointer who still lives by the creed.

A cadet will not lie, cheat, or steal, or tolerate those who do. Pompeo should have his West Point degree rescinded.

5. I sure hope this becomes the case

It breaks my heart when I see VN vets stumping for Trump, or any Republican. The sacrifices made to bring them home have never been recognized, not even a thank you. Thousands pledged time and careers, families were torn apart, students lay dead in Ohio. Visiting our Memorial I can't help but shed tears for the thousands on the wall directly as a result of Nixon and Kissengers betrayal beyond tears already shed.
If our vets were to waken to the issues presented today by the mad man in our WH it would bring a needed healing closer

6. You're a better person than I am.

The traveling wall has been to my town maybe three times.
I just can't bring myself to pay it a visit.

And I still know people who were assholes to me when I
returned. They haven't changed. Piss on em.

[randr]

7. I am sorry to hear that

I would encourage you witness the Wall. It has the power to heal

9. I think you should go to Washington to see the Wall.

I came home in March 1968. Even though it is believed here that it didn’t happen, I was spat on at SFO. My brother called me a baby killer. I could not put on an application the I was Vietnam vet because we were thought of as walking time bombs.

For years I was bitter then I went to the wall. I looked up friends I knew were listed there.

I was finally able to put the war behind me, the Wall brings closure.
