Henry V. ONeilWith all the god-awful suffering in this war, I suppose somebody ought to be enjoying it.
About This Quote
The war in Vietnam gave us soldiers a lot of bad things to deal with, and in many ways it was a terrible and devastating war. But in Vietnam, something else happened: we came face-to-face with reality. The war was happening. We saw what war is really like.
We saw the dead and wounded, the broken families, the homes and lives that were destroyed. We all had to watch it with our own eyes, but we also had to see it through the eyes of the people who were experiencing it.
