So intense.... Something like that has to change a person. I'm curious, do you feel, in hindsight, or overall, that it was a positive or negative experience for you, or is that "either/or" choice too simple?

I'm female, and wasn't in the war, but had friends & in Vietnam, one who died and another who suffered a nervous breakdown and was sent home.

I've always had the deepest respect and compassion for you guys. and yes, after 47 years, I'd say you have the right to talk about whatever the hell you want.
