[00:06:00] In 1965 Vietnam seemed like just another foreign war but it wasn\'t 
[00:19:00] It was different in many ways as so were tose that did the fighting 
[00:26:00] In World War II the average age of the combat soldier was 26 
[00:30:00] In Vietnam he was 19 
[01:44:00] In in in Vietnam he was 19 
[01:59:00] The shooting and fighting of the past two weeks continued today 
[02:20:00] 25 miles west of Saigon 
[02:27:00] I really wasn\'t sure what was going on 
[02:48:00] Ni ni ni 19 19 ni 19 19 
[02:49:00] 19 19 19 19 
[02:58:00] In Vietnam the combat soldier typically served 
[03:11:00] A twelve month tour of duty 
[03:11:00] But was exposed to hostile fire almost everyday 
[03:13:00] Ni ni ni 19 Ni ni ni 19 
[03:15:00] Hundreds of thousands of men who saw heavy combat 
[03:39:00] In Vietnam were arrested since discharge 
[03:41:00] Their arrest rate is almost twice that of non veterans of the same age 
[03:48:00] There are no accurate figures of how many of these men 
[03:51:00] Have been incarcerated 
[03:52:00] But a Veterans Administration study 
[03:58:00] Concludes that the greater of vets 
[04:00:00] Exposure to combat could more likely affect his chances 
[04:09:00] Of being arrested or convicted 
[04:12:00] This is one legacy of the Vietnam War 
[04:40:00] All those who remember the war 
[04:44:00] They won\'t forget what they\'ve seen 
[04:48:00] Destruction of men in their prime 
[04:52:00] Whose average was 19 
[04:53:00] De de destruction 
[04:54:00] De de destruction 
[04:54:00] War war 
[04:54:00] De de destruction wa wa war wa war war 
[05:04:00] De de destruction 
[05:05:00] War war 
[05:06:00] After World War II the men came home together on troop ships 
[05:07:00] But the Vietnam vet often arrived home within 48 hours of jungle combat 
[05:09:00] Perhaps the most dramatic difference between 
[05:11:00] World War II and Vietnam was coming home 
[05:20:00] None of them received a hero\'s welcome 
[05:25:00] None of them received a heroes welcome none of them none of them 
[05:28:00] Ne ne ne ne ne ne none of them none of them none of them 
[05:36:00] None of them received a hero\'s welcome 
[05:39:00] None of them received a hero\'s welcome 
[05:41:00] According to a Veteran\'s Administration study 
[05:43:00] Half of the Vietnam combat veterans suffered from what 
[05:45:00] Psychiatrists call 
[05:45:00] Post Traumatic Stress Disorder 
[05:46:00] Many vets complain of alienation rage or guilt 
[05:52:00] Some succumb to suicidal thoughts 
[05:53:00] Eight to ten years after coming home 
[05:54:00] Almost eight hundred thousand men are still fighting the Vietnam War

[06:03:00] When we came back it was different everybody wants to know 
[06:35:00] How\'d it happened to those guys over there 
[06:38:00] There\'s gotta be something wrong somewhere 
[06:38:00] We did what we had to do 
[06:40:00] There\'s gotta be something wrong somewhere 
[06:41:00] People wanted us to be ashamed of what it made us 
[06:43:00] Dad had no idea what he went to fight and he is now 
[06:46:00] All we want to do is come home 
[06:47:00] All we want to do is come home 
[06:48:00] What did we do it for 
[06:56:00] All we want to do is come home 
[06:57:00] Was it worth it
