So Pappy found all sorts of good information on the Gulf of Tonkin and the action that took place shortly after.

It's too bad my grandfather isn't around now to be digging deep to find what is really going on with the war in Iraq.

Nevertheless, my grandfather has inspired me, and likely others, to not take the common word as truth. In Tonkin, like what is currently going on in Iraq, the government's involvement in wars that are getting thousands of people killed is all based on faulty information.

If we can learn from my granddad, we will question the "facts" that are presented to us and try to uncover the truth and discover what is really going on.
