my gf found this, i thought it might be relavent

"It is the soldier, not the reporter who has given us the freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag." -- Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, Sergeant, USMC

Lothar-
Korea was a stalemate, begining positions were the same as the ending positions- ie not a victory
Vietnam was won (fighting stopped) and treaty signed but it was then lost when the democrat Congress refused to allow Nixon to carry out treaty obligations to S. Vietnam and bomb the sh*t out the commie b*st*rds to the North. they did this to ensure Nixon's political funeral. Just don't forget that Kennedy got us into that useless war.

I was thinking of Somalia and Bill Clinton.
