Exceptional interview Duke! Awesome slideshow & Rolling Stones music at the end of the piece! I wish you all the success life has to offer! I salute you and ALL of the heroes of Vietnam, those of you that survived and those of you who fell, for your contribution to freedom!
"I look inside myself and see my heart is black" -- WOW, what a powerful and fitting description of coming back from Vietnam and reconciling terrible memories, and difficult ethical decisions that had to be made at the time by such young men.
Duke Barrett describes the combat experience in a haunting and heartfelt manner, both in this video and in his book. How pertinent that is today, given that we still have troops in Iraq and are planning a new surge in Afghanistan.
