I would see him at work the next day and he just be all bright and chipper eating these giant peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that contained about a half a jar of peanut butter and a half and Jar of jelly on each one. I said you go for a walk last night Lou?, he'd say oh yeah every night. We were making missile parts for a place called Allegheny air ballistics. He ran a deburring bench. He was a good man and a good Marine. I hope he's still alive ,this was in 95. Semper Fi Lou.

That guy probably looked baby faced when he arrived, but look at him now. Stone used a similar sort of technique in the movie "Born on the Fourth of July when a young Ron Kovic was attending a 4'th of July parade and as some veterans were marching by and the camera moved back and forth between Ron Kovic the the child locking eyes with an older veteran who had been obviously wounded in war.

Sorry if someone already mentioned it: Not only do we see the Vietnam veterans who are returning home but also the bodies of the dead ones returning home. To those unfamiliar with war and warmovies: the new, green soldiers are the literal replacements of those weary looking veterans and the dead ones. Of course, it's symbolic. While the weary veterans maybe returning at the same time the green ones arrive, I'd think the casualties would have been transported back home (much) earlier, a short time after they were killed in action.

I interviewed a Bishop in a local Christian religion. And I was taken aback to hear his answer; “I would have put all the South Vietnamese into boats and take them out to the sea. Then nuke the entire country into oblivion. Then sink the boats.” And I could see he was dead serious. I’m sure you can guess as an 8th grader, I had no idea what to say next. But I have never forgot how serious he was and what that taught me about the effect of that war on the men whole fought.

To be fair, the military in the GWOT is an all volunteer force vs the US Army (and the Marines to a much smaller extent) was a draft army. True, most soldiers that fought in Vietnam were volunteer (about 2 out of every 3 were volunteer), but many "volunteered" because of the draft. For instance, one vet said that no one would hire him because they were afraid he would get drafted as soon as he was trained at the job. Joining the army or marines gave you a higher chance of potentially getting into a non combat specialty and being in the army gave you a shorter overall service obligation with being in the AF and Navy being four years and the Marines or Army being two years or less.
