It particularly turns my stomach at how these nauseating little slide shows are devoid of Korean slides and Vietnam slides.

I guess that one of my uncles who was wounded during the initial attack at the Chosin Reservoir and limped all the way out with what was left of his Marine rifle company with Chinese shrapnel in his left leg and left abdomen doesn't make the cut. After all that was only a police action that ended in stalemate. It can't be heroic when it ends like that, right?

I guess that two of my other uncles (my parents came from large families), one who was killed with the 1st Cav in the Central Highlands and the other who was wounded in Hue with the Marines after the Tet offensive don't make the "hero" cut, either.

Leave it to a bunch of cowardly fucking dodger chickenhawks to come up with bullshit like that. The only thing that disgusts me more is that people just don't realize it.

Send my uncles' stories to your mom if you'd like. We're (some in my family) all about changing minds by opening them up with concrete examples.
