Another "hero" who gets an 1 1/2 hour for history's sake. A big part of his story is he did not have a right or reason to be in Vietnam in the first place. Another American who didn't know where he belonged and didn't belong. Vietnam did nothing to Americans or the US. He was an invader and aggressor in someone else's country, representing imperialistic America. His time in Vietnam did nothing for American freedom, security and safety. He was a chump and pawn of his Government and it's dysfunctional foreign policy. He's not a hero or a victim. He is a survivor of an American tragedy who got a 2nd chance at life. The rest of his story is for people who like to hear war stories. At least he dressed up for this historical occasion.
