    My Uncle was KIA in nam. This gives such a great view from a lot of different aspects of the war. Gives me a small view of what my uncle may have experienced.

    I was born 1965 and too young to remember this war but I know men and women who served and they are heroes to me. These stories prove that men do heroic things.

    Am grateful for this podcast and for all the vets who share their story here. These men and women are national treasures.

    I have a history degree and served four years in the Air Force, but I’ve realized how little I know about Vietnam and what our servicemen and women experienced. Thank you for your service.

    I’m hooked on this pod cast. I spent a year in Viet Nam 2/67 to 2/68 with the 25th Inf Div; 65th Combat Engineers. Did everything from building roads, jungle clearing, tunnel rat, demo man, humped the jungles with leg units and mech units. Went in to hot L Zs, bridge building , river crossing, even went on a raft ride down a river in the middle of the night to deliver a infantry unit to a ambush site. Story of the Combat engineer is yet to be told…

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Feeding the "Big Red One"
Q: Did you ever have any idea what had happened to them out there?
For the most part, no. These guys didn't want to talk about it when they came back from missions.
Feeding the "Big Red One"
Q: How prepared are you for feeding large numbers of guys on day one?
I didn't even know what a field range looked like. I was out there just following the guys in front of me without any training.
The Stories We Tell
Q: Was it difficult for you to come to a place where you felt comfortable taking that on, PTSD specifically?
It was a commitment to truth-telling, asserting that PTSD is real, but suggesting it might be overdiagnosed.
Standing in Their Blood
Q: What did you find in your research and was it surprising to you?
Sarah found that women who reported their sexual assault faced severe retaliation and it hurt them more than the assault itself, a situation that still persists in recent military service.
Born From War
Q: What is the most important thing that you think they don't know about the War on Terror?
The legacy of the Vietnam War has significantly influenced policymakers in military and civilian sectors in every foreign policy decision post-Vietnam.
