From Pine View Farm

Learning from Experience 0

At the Tampa Bay Times, Vietnam veteran Mike Kanter observes Memorial Day by offering some lessons to be learned from that venture. Here’s a tiny bit of his article (emphasis in the original):

For the public: Respect the troops. They are doing what they’re ordered to do. They have no say over whether we engage in war. They do their duty.

For the politicians and senior public officials: Don’t capriciously go to war. Few wars are truly justified.

The entire piece is worth the few minutes it will take to read it.
