[Vision2020] Active Troops by and large, support Bush....

[J Ford]

Tet was a HUGE loss for America on many levels, not the least of which is 
that we had NO business conducting that kind of mission.  From the stand 
point of strategy, humanity, logic, politics, you name it - it was just 
plain the wrong thing to do.  The VC did not put that loss on us, WE did the 
minute it was decided to commission that act.  It was just another show of 
how wrong that whole conflict was and how we never had any business being 
involved in it.

And that is from a Vet that is STILL paying the price for that action...as 
Tom is, and any other Vet that served over there.
