I never said all were druggies.
All I said was that those who went there as druggies usually came back worse.
If I'd not been rejected for military service I'd likely be in the military now, though probably not in a warzone (by now I'd be too senior to be sent into battle, instead being confined to a headquarters' job).
Can't help it that I was born too late for Korea, too early for Afghanistan (we were never in Vietnam).

As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

we weren't.
Indonesia, New Guinea, Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan.
And UN peacekeeping missions in (among other places) the Lebanon, Sinai, Cambodia, Bosnia, and Kosovo.

But IMO NOTHING justifies drugs, and the majority of the drug cases in Vietnam were druggies before they went over. They just replaced pot with easy to get opium and heroine when over there.>>

ah, the leftists are down to their usual practice again, uttering lies and abusive language in an attempt to bully others to stop telling the truth which they don't like.
"neocons" are the ultraleft wing of the Republican party, people who're more leftwing than most so-called "Democrats".
Iraq was a necessity. It was in fact mandated by the UN resolutions determining the terms to the 1991 ceasefire, and should have been initiated in 1995 when Iraq broke those terms.
But Billyboy Clinton was too weak, too soft, to do what needed be done.
Had he done his duty as commander in chief and president of the US Iraq would have been free and at peace in 1996, 9/11 would never have happened as AQ would have been destroyed in their hideouts in Afghanistan after the embassy bombings and the attack on the Cole.
Clinton gave AQ 5 years to prepare their network to survive the onslaught they knew would come after 9/11, he gave them the time to prepare their operations in Iraq.
There's your draftdodger behaviour.

the government lied and the public to believe we were going to war because iraq had links to al-quaeda and 11/9 and that it had weapons of mas destructions which could be used within 45 minutes.

they didn't lie, though they may have acted on incorrect information.
There is a difference, you know...

Myth: The United States lost the war in Vietnam.
The American military was not defeated in Vietnam.

"I would guess if we had gone in there, I would still have forces in Baghdad today. We'd be running the country. We would not have been able to get everybody out and bring everybody home....
And the question in my mind is how many additional American casualties is Saddam [Hussein] worth? And the answer is not that damned many. So, I think we got it right, both when we decided to expel him from Kuwait, but also when the president made the decision that we'd achieved our objectives and we were not going to go get bogged down in the problems of trying to take over and govern Iraq"
