THE VIETNAM WAR’S HORROR: FROM DRACULA TO NIXON

Authors bereft of finding material to fill modern-day horror stories need only to finger the pages explaining the Vietnam War. They will find enough terror, suspense, blood, gore, and insanity to fuel any account that will cause the reader to shiver at every page.  

Nothing happening in that terrible place ever made sense. The enemy appeared and disappeared as trolls and goblins in a mythical tale. They lived underground, climbed steep mountainous terrain lugging piecemeal artillery without the help of helicopters, and emerged again regardless of the numbers we decimated.It was as if the land was a voracious entity demanding to drink our blood. 

As strange as it now seems, the United States answered this call by sending fresh bodies daily.  More than two and a half million troops passed into the furnace of Vietnam.  Fifty-eight thousand of us died. If that was not enough, the U.S. gladly fed the earth another three million Vietnamese, Laotians, and Cambodians through massive bombings. 

Dracula could not drink the blood fast enough; Frankenstein could not kill as many as he wanted, and Jack the Ripper would never run out of victims.  It took the U.S. government to provide what the criminally insane could never achieve – a never-ending conveyor of humans to slaughter. And that was Vietnam, I remember.
