      Some WWII vets just didn’t understand why Vietnam vets felt so differently about it, but many understood what they were feeling. Especially Pacific Theater vets because of similarities. One man who served in the Pacific said he understood their PTSD because he “fought the same battle every night for 60 years.”

      @@jackcarraway4707 America had a lot more help in WW2, and with Vietnam, it was a bit more complicated, since China had helped in some ways, too. If America used everything they got, they would have won in Vietnam, but the cost wasn't worth it. Wasn't worth it to use nukes either. And guerilla warfare, when done well, can do major damage to more powerful empires.

      I can understand that. My dad was in the jungle on patrol one day, the next he was on a flight to Sydney and back at home with my mum and older brother. He wouldn’t have had time to decompress and talk about things with his mates. It would’ve been surreal as having to deal with everyday things like bills and daily life. Mum didn’t help because she expected dad to put it behind him like her father did, but her father was at war for four years, then spent another year being demobbed so he had a lot of time to adjust. I’m not saying my dad was a trope of the PTSD vet, but I’m sure it took a lot of adjustment on his behalf.

      The USAs direct involvement in WW2 was also pretty short. All the Action the Europe-sent GIs saw was a short Trip over the Britisch channel, running over what was left of the German defense. The backbone of the Wehrmacht was already broken by the time you got involved.bOne could say, they didn't really "fight a war" at all. Just like WW1.

    One thing I want literally point out about this episode with the Vietnam veterans. That they somehow get together with those that serve in the Viet Cong. My response when I first heard that was wait a second what are these guys doing in the United States they won the war? But then I thought about it and realized, even though they technically won the war economically, they’re not doing so great. Vietnam is still a communist economic failure. Also, the Cold War was won by capitalism in the end. Communism economically doesn’t work. So in the end, despite winning the war, they probably realized didn’t want to admit it that Vietnam is not getting any better. I’m not trying to put Vietnam down, but there’s still poor. Another thing that gets thrown out of the episode as the Korean War veterans. They actually share the same decade generation with the World War II veterans. Another thing I want to point out to is both the Korean War and Vietnam war both of them and this is where bureaucracy goes into place. They were literally not supposed to be called wars. Because our involvement in both those countries they were referred as police actions and oh yeah, to make it even more insane Is these hypocritical bureaucracy jerks go out of their way to literally say oh they’re not real wars because Congress didn’t really vote on going to war.
