Today I got a scanned letter my brother wrote my father in fall of '69, from Vietnam, discussing how he was in a very dangerous situation. After talking to father about the details he mentioned something new to me: that most of his fellow draftees were high school dropouts, and that they were bloodthirsty. Eager to kill. I guess I am used to seeing that war either through the CBS evening news or via movies with sympathetic and intellectual protagonists.
