        So sad. So many died in a war we should never have been in. Lost many school friends!

        67. Just the wrong age. I think I still have PTSD from that war.

        Ken Burns Vietnam was chilling in describing this battle - the futility of it and the utter misery experienced - so very depressing to think of the lives scarred and lost.
