[QUOTE="Frederick, post: 3034639, member: 17825"] I'm very interested in military history, so i'll be watching it every night at 7 central when it's on. You can watch it in your web browser if you have Cox. I don't think combat vets owe us anything, but i feel that it is a great disservice when they don't talk about their experiences. I think we can learn a lot from combat vets. If we don't learn from the past we'll regret it in the future. A lot of Vietnam's experiences appear to be played out in Afghanistan and Iraq. From a historical point of view, we should gather as much first hand survivor accounts as we can to help us paint a bigger picture of the cataclysm that was the Vietnam war. from a personal point of view, talking about your experiences with family members can be therapeutic in many cases. But those stories can be passed down to later generations, and remind us of the Horror of war. it helps me understand what those brave souls went through. As an American, it's easy to be partisan against the enemies of your country. but Vietnam was not just an American tragedy, but a human one. I think it's great that we are able to travel to Vietnam and see the war from another perspective. It almost makes it feel as if we were the bad guys in that war. [/QUOTE]
