dw, did you ever see the 2003 movie "Cold Mountain". It was not the same battle in the movie, but gruesome. I can't imagine how it would affect me back then being in such a battle. I had a classmate commit suicide 30 years after Vietnam. He was never the same when he came back. Those Civil War battles, geez. I flunked my physical do to bad eyes, Nystagmus. or it could have been me in Vietnam.
