The real atrocity of the Vietnam War was the result of the genocididal
holocaust that resulted from the Stalinist Communist
take over of South East Asia concommitant with the forced expuslion
from the same by the communists.
Another atrocity was the manner in which the American people and the
American government
treated returning Vietnam Veterans, a holocaust of it's own!

The only thing approaching a holocaust was the take over of Cambodia by Pol 
Pot's Khmer Rouge.  Rather than being "Stalinist", Pol Pot was aligned with 
the PRC and decidedly anti Soviet.

I was treated very well by the American Public and our government on my 
return from Vietnam.  I was given preferential treatment in hiring for 
federal employment, the VA guaranteed my first home loan, and provided 
education benefits.  Even though my service was a mere two years, I know 
that because of my service - my government would provide me with medical 
treatment should I need it and were unable to provide for myself, and when I 
expire - they'll even provide a space in a National Cemetery.

My experience was most certainly not unique and to describe whatever slights 
you perceive you were subjected to as being a holocaust strikes one as being 
rather hystrionic.

Thankyou for your service

Just because Obama-buddy, Bill Ayers was willing to kill at home
doesn't mean he was oblivious to the murder of 1,670,000 innocent non-
whites.

I'm at the airport and two Vietnam vets from Ft. Lewis happen to meet
up. One is telling the other how leftits had given their little kids
rocks to throw at the troops as they came home. This is how the likes
of Clave started.

All of the above being an entirely owned and blessed project of the
