Although lack of victory in Vietnam didn’t help this same relationship, let’s not forget it was pretty darn bad during the war too — before we knew for sure that we were going to lose. Unlike WWII, the war in Vietnam was criticized and lambasted by a huge percentage of the general populace, including (by cause or as a result) much of the media — such an anti-war attitude was not widely-held in WWII (at least my parents don’t remember it that way). Kudos for a thoughtful and well-written article.

P.S.
What is your opinion as to why we’re not seeing the graphic images (body bags, etc) today on the news that we saw during Vietnam? One would think that with the ever-increasing amount of violence we see on TV (and in video games, blah blah etc), we would only be more likely to see such coverage on the news outlets.

Who can help me with telling me the differences between relation and relationship?

Thanks
