What a feeling that must've been for him

The first years of he war, The vast majority of men and women who fought in Vietnam were Honorable and truly thought they were serving to protect their country from a clear and present danger. After 1965-66 most started to question WTF we are doing there. As we find out later, they should have been, their leaders knew the war was unwinnable at that point.
Another new thing that upsets me is the racism the military put into the heads of these 18 year olds. As Musgrave said, paraphrasing, racism is essential to keep them killing in Vietnam. I know they are not doing that now, but it still is upsetting that we chose to do that to our 18 year old soldiers during that era.
