My husband was very disturbed by some of this footage, another side of the stories which have been so long in coming out ... far too painful to look at even after all these years.
Like you, Rick, KB enlisted in the Navy and served his time on an aircraft carrier rather than in country.
Guido, my brother was a flight surgeon stationed in Germany during those years, in Munich. Where were you?
It was 20 years post Vietnam before the first movie about it came out and that was almost too soon ... very difficult for me to sit through Platoon and that was only a movie, but it made me feel as if I was there ... almost ... because I know it can't compare to those who were really there.
Bless you BJJ (and all who served) for helping put your friend back together somewhat ... I know many never got put back together and you're right, it is definitely happening again ... watching closely and learning doesn't seem to work ... trying praying.
Last year at the Wall traced my good friend's brother's name for her ... what a loss! I had shivers there.

I know a place ....
