2 generations. 2 wars... what happened to the one(s) in betwen?

Or how about "You don´t get to choose your war". But apparently the movie industry does.
I guess i must be getting old when it feels like it was just yesterday 9/11 happened and Americas Jihad in the middle east took of. And the rest of the world screamed indignantly.
But i digress! This is supposed to be about the middle child, the Vietnam war.
When it comes to war, it is all about fighting for "the good" and against "the evil". It is basic propaganda 1o1! And in Americas short lifetime there have been only 2 "good" wars. The Civil War, and the second world war. The rest of the wars have ranged from obscure skirmishes, to the political embarrassing ones.
Now, Vietnam belongs to the "embarrassing"- category. However hard the propaganda machines worked, they could not turn public opinion around (Hippies are a pain like that).
It makes me wonder if this is a deliberate attempt at trying to rub of some of the "good" from WW2 on to the Iraqi War, now when public opinion have calmed down a bit.
It also makes me question my own believes. How would i have looked on the 3 different wars had today's movies been aired during the Vietnam War, the Vietnam War movies been aired during WW2 etc.
And in all earnest, even the second world war had its antagonists. There will always be a big opposition against war. It is loud, dirty, ugly, and it brings out the worst in people.
But please do not arbitrarily skip a generation of soldiers just because you feel embarrassed over the war they fought in. The Vietnam soldiers are probably the ones that deserve the most respect, for they lost 1 more thing than the other 2 generations. Something movies claim you can never take from a man...

Pride.
