Sadly,there is no way to count all the men who came back and found that they couldn’t cope with their experiences in Vietnam.Like my friend William who killed himself about 10 years after coming home.
Not to mention those that have died or are dieing from the effects of Agent Orange.
I often think a good friend died young because of his experiences in ‘Nam. No Agent Orange; didn’t commit suicide, but I think his heart couldn’t take the stress. From what he told me, it was a horrible experience.
The AO/ETC. seems to be the problem,,,
I doubt the truth will ever come out...
The countless veterans who survived the war but “died inside as a result of that war” are not to be forgotten.
