What They Told Men Headed To Vietnam. Who Is The American Soldier?

This speech or one very much like it was given to men before they headed to Vietnam. This recording was made in 1971. Although the military was aware that a documentary filmmaker (not me) was recording this, they did not in any way interfere, which is how he could capture this moment. I suspect that many of the people watching this are Vietnam veterans or have relatives who were fighters in that war. I’m interested in the comments viewers have to share regarding how they feel about what this gentleman is saying. Personally, I have mixed emotions about it. So many of my clips regarding Vietnam have comments that touch me - expressing the experiences of those who fought, their children, and their children’s children. I feel that the comments give a sense of the different perspectives people have towards that time. I thank every commentator and every Soldier/Marine/Sailor/Aviator who fought there. I post videos like this with the hope that I will pick up advertisers who choose to advertise on this clip. I want to thank the current advertisers who include: wounded warrior support foundation.
