Military Veteran

Almost all of us know someone who had been deployed to Vietnam. But most of the veterans don't want to talk about their Vietnam experiences. So, for me, this is the first realistic, packed-with-details account of what daily life was like in Vietnam that I've ever heard.

Did political leaders have an obligation to speak out on behalf of the veterans and demand that America's military hospitals stop turning them away?

In war time, it's dangerous to even want a drink of water. Especially, if you were raised in a butcher shop.And that's what war is: A Butcher Shop.
