vietnam was a war fought n the same concept as the korean war, it was a mistake by the preseident that cost alot of lives, based on the american idea of themselves, it has happened again and will continue to do so, it is the americans that need to change to stop this, not one man.

My dad was in the Army. He was a door gunner in Vietnam from December 1969-November 1970. He died of Agent Orange related lung/brain cancer on March 20, 2008. Vietnam was a WASTE!!!

I'm looking for a video clip from Vietnam where a reporter is interviewing a soldier and an explosion is close by. The soldier doesn't even flinch while speaking. I don't know who is interviewing the soldier and I don't remember what they were talking about, I just remember the broken down look on this man's face and how he was desensitized. He didn't stop talking and he didn't flinch. The interviewer dropped down a bit and covered his head. This man just stood there. Incredible.
