Honoring veterans. | 6:09 a.m. Nov. 12, 2009
If this is staggering, they should also report on the dishonor that has been given to the Vietnam vets. The veterans of Vietnam where shunned, shammed, and shown more hate for defending their country than any soldier in american history. Even today they are treated very badly and dishonored for the lives they sacrificed and lost in battle. Because of this war, many americans are not united or believe in defending their country, families, government, and homeland.

So those that refuse to honor their country and serve it do it for selfish reasons that to me is dishonoring those that do serve. Reinstating the draft and forcing all americans to honor their country would give new meaning to being an american and uniting us as a nation. Those that choose not to honor our country like Clinton and Obama should be shammed and dishonored. Patriotism can unite us.
