This is what happened during Vietnam in the end also---it got personal, eventually, for too many of us...no matter what we thought to begin with. </p> <p>I am glad people are having discussions so much earlier this time. Iraq seems as awful but not as polarizing as Vietnam; I think it is because people know you can disagree with someone and support them at the same time; you can even be a soldier and not agree with the war you are involved in...when you are a soldier you must do your job whatever you believe; unless you feel strongly enough to go to jail.</p> <p>I don&#39;t remember people I knew blaming soldiers in Vietnam so much as I remember reactionary people claiming anti war people were against soldiers and blamed soldiers. I think, even then, most of us knew the difference between a soldier and the decision of an administration to go to war, we all, in time, were touched personally.</p> <p>&#160;</p> <p>&#160;</p> Tue, 20 Feb 2007 18:46:50 -0500 Sarah Colombo comment 914 at http://www.blogsnh.com/drupal http://www.blogsnh.com/drupal/blog_entry/mike_pride/two_wars <!-- google_ad_section_start --> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="Bodycopy"><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">While reading today’s <em>Monitor</em>, I paused to study a photograph on page A6.
