They do...sort of. Only one "bad" experience ever comes back in the middle of the night, and that was a kill I made that went wrong.

Otherwise, nope...and I still have an intense dislike for all things/Viet.

I figure I didn't kill nearly enough of them.

I don't blame you a bit for how you feel. Your experiences may have been far more horrific than mine and you brought them home with you.

I suffered from what is widely known these days as PTSD for a good ten years after my return. My flash point was low and I literally saw red when someone crossed me. I did a lot of harm to many people until I realized I was going nowhere and slowly killing myself, not to mention jeopardizing my marriage to the greatest woman who has ever lived.

I have never gotten over it, but I have managed to bury it deep enough it doesn't affect my life or those around me. Let's face it, we were interlopers in their country. We were there under false premises conjured up by our politicians and corporate leaders. It was the ultimate military/industrial complex mindfuck of all time.

I no longer have hard feelings towards the Vietnamese. That may only a surface aberration, but it gets me by from day to day.
 
These current wars are the same mindfuck. Losing moral imperative happens when you attack others. you don't get best and brightest, you dont use all tools in arsenal, you fight half wars to stand still exchanging poor peoples blood for cash to the top.

WHAT? You mean they lied to us? Say it ain't so...🙄

Fucking McNamara. I too had a difficult time "readjusting" for several years. I drank (and did other things) to help me forget...to help me come to terms with some of the things I did over there, and to help me through the "rough days/nights," but of course, it doesn't really help...
I don't "HATE" the Vietnamese...and haven't tried to kill one for several days...maybe a couple of weeks. 😛

Nope, most of the Vietnamese people here in the US are good people, with (like any group) a few assholes thrown in the mix.

Did I have "horrific experiences" while there? Hell yes. It was combat, and I was in the thick of things for nearly 2 years. I carried the body of my best friend out of the bush for three days...just so his mom would have something to bury. (he & I went to school together for several years, and I knew his family very well.)
I had many good friends killed in combat, saw the guy next to me turned into pink mist many times...while I was untouched...I took a piece of shrapnel in the knee once, got hit with a grazing bullet once. Neither was very serious, didn't require anything more than what the corpsman could do in the field, (although both required a visit to the field hospital when we got back to "civilization," and I turned down the Purple Heart for both.

All that being as it may be, I'd still go back and do it all over again if the circumstances were the same. I actually enjoyed MOST of my time there.

Lay off the bottle gramps. Your SS check is not that large. Besides Id defer to age before beauty until you start something like we all should do.

Here's a choice quote:
American queer Asians don't even come close to the ones still in their father/motherlands. They all smell of the ghey if not pedophilia and abuse of their boyfriends.

Christ, it must be hell growing up as an Asian when you know that sooner or later you are going to become a prancing homofag or a dirty panty sniffer.


But seriously for all the hate HP has bottled up inside I really do hope he's tormented by asians in his dreams every night. In whichever form bothers him the most, whether its G-Dragon or a fat otaku dressed as an anime bikini model.
