Viet Nam Pictures
A fairly representative set of pictures covering the US involvement in Viet Nam.
For FOG's, the curious, and historians..
WARNING: It's WAR and some of the pictures are not pretty.
http://blogs.denverpost.com/captured...f-saigon/1781/
NSFW: Here is possibly the most repugnant picture in the set... 
My apologies if it turns your stomach,, but in War,, Shiite Happens...

I find it so hard to believe that he was not held to the fire for his actions. For all the vocal outrage at Jane Fonda, Kerry did much more damage while wearing a uniform.

Wow, JJ! A Giant Massachussetts Hissing Cockroach - Prevaricatorus Liberalis - I bet the Smithsonian would love to have that one for their insect collection.

She didn't have enough money to keep in the life style he wanted. Thus the ketchup lady was married.

What gets me is that he ran for president thinking that his past wouldn't hurt his chances of winning. How wrong he turned out to be. His wife's rude treatment of the press on more than one occasion didn't help him either.
Great pictures that send powerful messages.

I was struck by the message on the sign in #23. Wish we saw more signs, posters, messaging like this today.
I AM AN AMERICAN.
I WILL LIVE LIKE ONE.
I AM WILLING TO DIE TO BE ONE.
For those of you that served in that war, thanks again, a million times over. I got choked up looking at those pictures.
