My wife’s uncle served in nam an he was know as Santa. He became a vegetarian because of this war. He said see human meat look like a everyday meat. An it gave him ptsd attacks when he ate it would induce nightmares for him. He died of cancer later on in life. I can only imagine what he went through in this hellscape

I wish Vietnam wasn’t such a political war, because there are some insane stories of bravery that came out of it. Especially the SF ODAs, Marine CAPs, SOG RTs, and LRRPs.
I was fortunate to get to interact with quite a few SOG vets during my time in the Army and those dudes, in my opinion, did the most insane shit ever seen in warfare and still almost nobody knows about them.
It’s one of those wars too when you read the stories from the North Vietnamese viewpoint you understand their POV and can empathize with them a lot, unlike the Taliban or AQI for a modern example.
