I'm glad you have an interest in the war. I have a tale about that movie Platoon. I saw it in 87, exactly twenty years after I had returned Stateside from Viet Nam. During that twenty years, I never spoke a word about the war, and never mentioned to anyone that I had been there.

Sitting in that theater less than two minutes into the movie, I felt something inside myself, something ominously stirring and awakening. I won't go into detail here, but that movie sent me straight into a Vet Center, where I underwent treatment for PTSD for almost two years. I may never have healed had it not been for Oliver Stone. Today life is good, and I'm at war with the government which sent us over there.

The link above is on my site. If you go there, please check out "Essays", "Waco", and "Graffiti". Here's another url for a different perspective on a Vet's view of Jane Fonda, entitled "Why I Love Jane Fonda". Enjoy.
