Re: Vietnam Vets
I respect the marine vets opinion, but that is just what it is an opinion. I am a Vietnam combat veteran and have been in several firefights. The movies depict spraying the VC with sustained fire and I am sure in some instances it may have happened, but in my experience it was usually pick your target and fire 2-3 rd burst as accurately as possible. As far as teachers becoming our children and grand children's protectors, that should be up to the teacher that wants the weapons and safety training to do that job. Not all teachers can do it just as I had several of my fellow soldiers who could not pull the trigger when faced with return fire. However I would feel better knowing my grandsons had a teacher there trained to at least try to protect them from sick individuals with a weapon. And as the saying goes" opinions are like rear orifice, everyone's got one". Just trying to keep it nice.
