It's stunning how many people seem to forget that there are other countries on the planet that use dollars and weren't involved in Vietnam. No, I'm not making an assumption. The person who posted this is Canadian.

Y'all really need to take a step back and reflect a little bit.

The ideal life is dying when you're only 54? That's pretty bleak!

Right? I sure hope it doesn't take that long.

If you were a vet and saw combat in Vietnam, that was the cancer you got from all the Agent Orange they sprayed on you that killed you......

My birth father died a slow agonizing death after getting exposed to agent orange. My adopted mother calls me a bastard all the time. She is a horrible person. Life is America is horrible it is no wounder so many kill themselves.
