My brother and I were in Vietnam together. Since I was there first, he had to sign some sort of waiver, but he did. When his outfit (3/26) left Khe Sahn, he got permission to spend a week with me in an outpost (which he thought was going to be like R&R - until night came). It was pure luck that he/we both made it out of there alive. > and if one of them became or was the sole surviving son it was impossible > to serve in any combat operation.

We haven't even begun to absorb the effect of that war on our troops.
