Mar 2013

I woke about 3:00 am in Vietnam. Not in body mind you but in my nightmare. 43 years and still as plain as if it was now.
The thing is it takes a while to shake this after it happens. wake up scared shitless, sweating profusely, wanting to scream, looking for a place of safety, worrying about my friends with me. Wanting to get out of this hell and can't get my legs to cooperate, my vocal cords to work. Yes I know
I'm coming to grips with all this thanks to this place. Today I worry for our Sons and Daughters, Mothers and Fathers, Sisters and Brothers who like us were lied into a war. A war many will never be able to leave behind.
Its criminal and the perps should be charged and given their day in court, the bodies dug up of the war criminals of the past so we can try them too.
Its wrong, wrong, wrong.
