Almost all of these Vets are in their 80's.
Sometimes they share stories of their time in country, but mostly they compare todays military vs. theirs (reminiscing).
I've only heard a few gore stories...two that stick out:
- satchel charge = nothing left but black hair on concertina wire by B52's at an air base.
- chopper gunner hitting a hut with multiple rounds, hut explodes, bodies become airborn.
