Comment from Steve Pahs:
9:55 am on November 13, 2014I graduated from High School in 1965. In June of 66′ I was home on leave from basic training (drafted) and turned 19. In late Oct 66′ I was a grunt 25 miles NW of Saigon. I was wounded in March of 67. I was still 19. Purple Heart. The several videos of ’19’ depict what I was caught up in. Adversity does not build character; it reveals it. Mine is fine. My unit, A Co, 2nd Batt, 27th Inf Reg, 25th Inf Div took terrible casualties but I saw no unit or individual atrocities. Character revealed.
We (I) were simple working class (farm) kids with a worldview shaped by a controlled press and educational (history) system. We did not start that war but we ‘had’ to fight it. With a little more knowledge I wouldn’t have gone. But I did and that can’t be changed. Because of my desire to understand why, and people like Ron Paul and yourself, I “see” the forces that generate the carnage and waste.
Sites like yours and RT are breaking through the fog and giving people around the globe a welcome alternative to our captured media. Thank you.
