I passed this along to my best friend - retired Ranger Colonel, three tours. He said:

Quote:
May 1968, highest monthly, was the month before I graduated. A year later, the US had actually pulled in its horns. The casualties were too high. 39996 age 22 or younger. Lots of long, sad memories. Most people don't give it a thought and never will. The gays and the girls must participate more. Tell all young white boys to avoid it at all costs; they are pawns.
Not a glowing tribute from a guy that has most certainly been there and done that.

He, like me, is not happy with current events.
