I guess my turn came at an unpopular time. I was in USMC in Vietnam during '67-68. What has always bothered me is how they take an 18 year old kid and shove him into something like that. Some get over it, some don't. Myself, I always enjoy visiting with the old-timers from WW II. That entire generation had a different code of conduct; they survived the Depression and a World War. Their values are what kept them strong. I'm not sure our generation could do the same.
