BATTLING THE UNSEEN: STORIES FROM VIETNAM AND THE COST OF WAR

There was no sense in thinking of what would happen on the next mission. It was useless to extrapolate the future even with advanced logistics. 

Nothing went as planned, and the enemy proved cunning, relentless, and elusive. We needed to quell the anxiety, plan as best we could, and step into the theater representing the Vietnam War. Were we successful? 

Ideally, the team would manage to complete our assignments and return uninjured. I’m sorry to say it was not the case. But our training, combat experience, and brotherhood made us into formidable adversaries.  

Unfortunately, more than 58,000 of my brothers and sisters perished in that war, and 150,000 returned wounded. The numbers still haunt me.
