      1stly thank you for serving our country i wasn't around back thank but thank you, 2ndly the fact that he was able to speak about what did happen amazes me cause not all vets are able to talk about it so openly like he did on the show. so good on him. it's a shame he died so young though. though i'm not a vet i would not be surprised if the doctors and nurses who took care of our vets realized how much of an impact they have had on them for those who had the misfortune of getting injured.

The blindness of many Americans like you to historical facts and to the true mission of your troops abroad (since the end of WWII) is baffling to the rest of humankind. Is it due to simple ignorance or an entrenched racism that make you see any non-white person as part of an inferior species created by God for the sole purpose of serving you?! In the Vietnam war, the real victims are the poor Vietnamese villagers whose lives and communities were destroyed by INVADING troops armed to the teeth ! I am sorry for what happened to the soldier featured in this video but the fact is that he chose to enter the army and do the dirty work of his government. As for the Vietnamese, they did not chose to take up arms; they needed to defend themselves and save their land from the aggressors. The anti-communist propaganda that Americans were served at the time only served to justify America's imperialist ambitions.

I also hate it when ,the people who never had a choice for what happened to them get the blame for what their government did... Get it, the us government realized that they simply had way to many good men in uniform at home willing to protect their homes, and so they had to send them away to get killed for NO GOOD REASON!. And now ,it's few and fewer everyday . And definitely none that are able to run and win the presidency... Alot of good and brave real men REAL!!MEN are gone because of that sencless war, and only a few made it back only to realize that they were betrayed by their leaders and then disrespected by so many ...

      I concur with your statement. As for that older footage, who the hell knows? I like to believe many of these ambiguous sea cryptids being filmed are sharks. Either sharks that found their way into lakes(it has happened before). Or pet sharks that had/have outgrown their pens and were set free into large nearby areas of water. Large squid and mountain gorillas were only myth until their existence was confirmed respectively.

Linda, I love you without bounds. The unimaginably injured and psychologically damaged legends of every country that served in Vietnam owe everything to the nurses and doctors who did their job. Your story is beyond inspirational. It’s beyond description. It’s just…beyond…the call of duty. I owe you, because of what you have done for my appreciation of the finest standard of human relationship. I will work hard for the few remaining years of this life to live up to the standard you’ve set. Thank you.
