    You can feel the stress that this Marine is experiencing as he recounts his time in Vietnam and his return stateside. I pray that he knows that he is respected by more people than he will ever know. I pray that you will find the peace that you deserve.

    This one was intense. You could picture everything he said.
    Its very courageous of him to describe his close combat experience like this. Tough Marine, indeed.

    This is just a personal observation I'm making here and not a political one. And I hope I'm not being disrespectful. Watching these videos is hard because I can't imagine what it must be to be a good and decent person, as I believe most people at heart are, and yet at a very young age (often just out of high school or college) to have to do, as your job/ your patriotic duty (or so you're told), unimaginably brutal, dangerous and violent things and have the same done to you and your comrades, including leading to their deaths or permanent injuries in some cases in front of your eyes, and yet afterwards if you survive return to your ordinary decent civilian life. To have to bury the horror deep inside you and go back to a world where people are expected to honour the fifth commandment, rather than to breach it and where no one who hasn't been there can comprehend what you've had to do or experience. I'm not talking only about Vietnam here. This applies to any war no matter what side, no matter how morally or politically justified or how much you may believe in it. I was luckily a little too young to go to Vietnam (although a couple of my teachers at school back then were recent vets) and they haven't had the draft for a war since so I never had to make the ultimate terrible personal sacrifice and service all these young men had to make.
