Hello, All.

The piece comparing our Vietnam vets to our current crop of troops coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan has gotten some great conversations going, both here and on Huffington Post.

I stand corrected on the matter of draftees - only a third of our Vietnam troops were drafted - the majority was volunteer.  Many related points about current needs were highlighted by postings from various vets and their families under the original article, and it’s worth having a second look, just for the comments.
