Interesting attitude, 'We didn't lose the war we just failed to fulfil our commitment to South Vietnam'....

 

Next we'll have Dubya saying he didn't invade Iraq without cause we were just fulfilling Daddy's commitment to the Saudi Royal Family....

 

I wonder how many of the families of the 50K US Servicemen killed Vietnam feel the commitment was justified?

Sad that he went so young and a wonderful man too.

Perhaps he should be cremated with Napalm.
