I thought the book was terrible. I dont know who he is trying to kid.he sounded like he was responable was the whole war . he needs to get a grip.you can whine all you want. Nothing that happened in viet nam had anything to do with an 18 year old kid. what can you do about the past but forget it.I wouldnt have gave it one star but I had to and yes I was in viet nam in 1968.
