The spouter who was moved by the Vietnam Memorial in Wildwood couldn't have said it better: "Boys who sacrificed their precious lives," for what? Freedom and democracy should not be utilized by the power elite in this country to put our men and women in harm's way. Vietnam and our two current wars are examples that there should be a purpose and a cause that is well thought out before our men and women are called to sacrifice. The presidents in both parties have shown a propensity to make the call for freedom less than real, and we are lead like sheep for their baseless call to action.
