And God bless and to those men that died, lost limbs, lost sons and fathers etc. it showed many videos and photos of dead bodies and men in combat. I must say, I'm still racked over that show. I'm never for men killing eachother, especially the way some of these men did. But what do you do? Play Rock Paper Scissors and call it a victory?! This is life. This will always be a sick reality. I have a feeling this thread might get a little bloody itself so if it does, please delete mods. But please, try to have some respect for others views here. I'm just curious to others views on it?

I too was not interested in history in high school. It was after lunch and my teacher had such a low and monotone voice that she would bore me to sleep. But as an adult I have discovered the History Channel and the American Hero's Channel and I have learned way more than I ever could in high school. Reading it out of a book doesn't give you the accurate descriptions of what actually happened out in the field. I have found the Vietnam War and WWII documentaries to be fascinating and I have great respect for those involved in combat.
My dad also avoided the draft because he was a student at the time.
