Of all the wars, conflict, Vietnam brought a new meaning to U.S. involvement.  For those who served and took the blunt, and those who left the country, but were welcome home, reconciliation is long pass.  For those who served in that time period and for those who served in country, let each one of them decide if reconciliation is what they want all these years later.  Put this period of time to rest, also to those who never served no matter how they present Vietnam, they were not there and so do not understand.  I feel even if veterans opened up about Vietnam, you had to be there.  One thing is for sure, the wars, conflicts since then, the outcome to those who served have not changed. The Veterans Department, and others.
