The Vietnam War was a disaster for America and for Vietnam.  Mueller voluntarily entered the Marine Corp in 1968 knowing full well that he would serve in Vietnam.  By that time it was clear the war was simply a meat grinder that was destroying both America and Vietnam .  I can excuse and feel sorry for someone who was drafted into military service but not someone who volunteered to participate in that slaughter .   As far as I am concerned , Mueller is no patriot and did not serve my country's interest.   On the contrary , he betrayed America's ideals by volunteering and serving in one of the greatest mistakes we have ever made.
