They were young men, often only 18, sent halfway around the world against their will to fight in a conflict that many of them neither understood nor supported. When they returned home, they were not welcomed as heroes for their actions but shunned as pariahs. More than 20 years after the last soldiers left Vietnam, the memory of that war continues to haunt America. This compelling, often-painful program examines the life of the common soldier who served in Vietnam. Numerous former infantrymen and Marines share their memories of bitterness over being drafted, of the brutality of the fight, of poor morale and a harsh "welcome" home. Like no other program available, this is an intimate and revealing portrait of what life was like for American soldiers fighting the War in Vietnam. Travel through the jungle with the young soldiers who risked capture or death every day at the hands of an unseen guerrilla enemy. (Approx. 45min.)
