My uncle, Cyrus V Kean, was drafted in December 1968 and was designated to the 1st infantry division. He went to Fort Jackson and then to Fort Gordon, then to Vietnam. My grandmother went to church every single day, prayed Cy would return unharmed. While Cy made it back physically unharmed, he was mentally destroyed. In 2009 he put on his uniform, took a bottle of lithium and drowned himself in the Delaware River. The war obliterated his mind. An unfortunate ending.

I was in & around Vietnam from January 1967 to August 1970. I was lucky enough to work my way into some unique billet’s. I was assigned to Navy Support units operating from the DMZ & a place called Cau Viet to Phu Bai, Da Nang, Cam Ranh Bay & Saigon. I saw some of the best in Vietnam, &, of course, too much of the absolute worst of war. I became a better person because of all these experiences. And, I realized WAR is the absolute worst way to resolve conflict. But if one side of a disagreement refuses to discuss, negotiate or compromise, the result is WAR, because someone didn’t try hard enough.

During the Vietnam War there were a lot case of US ground troops commit a lot of attrocities toward many South Vietnamese villagers during their "Search and Destroy Mission." Many were never reported and a lot was being covered up by US General William Childs Westmoreland. There were many US ground troops saw the attrocities done by their fellow American troops and did nothing. While other participate. Vietnamese peoples were the victim of the Vietnam War. Even though many Vietnamese didn't start the War and didn't ask for it. That was the decision by the American peoples who voted for Democrats President JF Kennedy and LB Johnson as their Commander in Chief for their country. And Democrats President Truman who brought Communist support to Vietnam by allowing and supporting France to reclaim Vietnam as their colony. A country who value their freedom and independence from England. Deny other country of their own. America was never a democracy country. America is a Republic.

The war would have been over within six months if LBJ had not micro managed the bombing of the war material coming from North Vietnam. The air force bombed only selected targets such as bridges, power plants and often flew over railroad flat cars loaded with missiles, and many tons of weapons ammunition all of which were going into South Vietnam. The bombings should have destroyed North Vietnam s cities ports and all of the war planning centers of the country additionally destroying the enemy ability to continue to send troops and supplies into South Vietnam. Without the resupply of war material coming in to South Vietnam the war effort would have ended. LBJ micro managed the bombing by bombing selected targets in the end the bombing was only partially effective.
