What in heck is the point of all this ?

Agreed. Especially since approx. 77% of the men who served in Vietnam were volunteers. A rate much higher than WW2. The myth of helpless, hapless, draftees plodding through the mud of VN is just that, myth. Granted, many did, but not near the numbers one would think. I'd be the last to take anything away from them. Served with many. Fine guys for the most part. But not near as plentiful as RA guys inspite of what has been written.
