Dave, please don't reopen the wounds of Nam!  I'm not calling anyone a baby-
killer, though I was profoundly opposed to what we did in Vietnam - but to
be honest, I did spend many, many nights trying to console and comfort the
man to whom I had been married (and from whom I was divorced prior to his
heading to Nam) - he was haunted, dreadfully, by some of the things he had
both seen and done.  That included killing babies/small children, lest they
be wired with explosives.  Knifing a young girl of 9 or 10 who tried to
pick his pocket.  etc.  I know how he grieved at what that war did to the
people of Nam, and to our own soldiers.  Do not make light of his grief!
