They're fucking heroes. Oddly, U.S. history books and media seem mum on all of this. I wonder why...?

It will change when the Vietnam Veterans all die off. Those men went through some horrible times, no one wants to tell them they watched their friends get killed and mutilated, or that they themselves killed and mutilated people, for a war that was wrong.

And I understand, they were drafted and didn't want to be there, and they suffered horrible injuries and death themselves because it's war, and war is brutal.

But it's irritating when everything about the Vietnam war is from their perspective, and to sympathize with them, instead of the Vietnamese, who suffered far worse and were the ones being invaded by a much stronger military.
