      <description>&lt;p&gt;I am a VN vet (2 one year tours as an infantryman) and I still do not like it when people who should know better (Karnow) refer to the people of Viet Nam as our enemy. I reckon it&amp;#8217;s like those who refer to John Mccain as a hero. Since when are you a hero for driving a plane over a country with no air craft and little air defense to drop bombs on mostly civilian targets?? Please explain why we contnue to call war criminals &lt;span class="caps"&gt;HEROS&lt;/span&gt;!! If 5 years in jail makes one a hero we sure have a lot more of them in the US no, when we have over 1 or is it 2 million people in jail here and now.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
