11. I remember those folks from the Vietnam days

They don't want their loss to be 'in vain'. They want to be able to look back and think, "well, at least he died for something." I'm sorry for your loss, sir, but that is not an excuse to continue a failed policy to continue to kill more people for no reason whatsoever.
