Its enlightening to hear and see the other side's perspective during this war, I never thought to look it up for Vietnam. This documentary is queued for my data hoard.
It makes me wonder if America's military today is prepared with enough grit and psychological resilience for a war for survival or for a world war with multiple powers that can go toe to toe with us. Seeing how they lived and fought reveals just how spoiled we are today with MREs, ice machines, gaming consoles, and reefer containers for frozen food, things that will be logistically absurd when fighting something other than the third world.

I remember reading a book about that years ago. As in, 20, 30 years ago.
