Hunter's group blog assignment - Vietnam War and Life

When I think of the Vietnam War... I think of death, suffering, and courage. I pick these three specific words for different reasons.. death because you are surrounded by it almost everywhere you go. You live everyday not knowing if you're going to be alive or dead. Suffering because you have families and friends back home and you don't know if you're every going to even see them again.. and it's a lot of suffering for families back home. Courage because going to war is something almost no one wants to do. You're going to war, possibly losing your own life, to serve for our country and protect us. 

The second video differs from the first in a sense that it shows us a different side to Vietnam. How the people and there way of living isn’t a bad one. We see it as this terrible place when really they’re just like us. You got to see the other side of Vietnam and not JUST the war.
