An article from the Santa Cruz Sentinal - Kerry’s war experiences examined in ‘Going Upriver’
A place to download or buy a DVD of GOING UPRIVER
I've watched about half. It's worth your time.
How soon we forget.
It's a good refresher on what was going on in America and Vietnam at the time John Kerry served his country.
Do you remember the term "free fire zones"?
I think a prerequisite to any discussion or debate regarding what a Vietnam vet (or any other human being) might think about war would be to consider that term and what it meant.
I can only imagine and read and listen but I believe...War is hell. War that involves combatants is hell. When War, as often (always) begins to involve non-combatants....then it transcends any hell we could imagine.
The innocent bystanders whether they be citizens of a country involved in a war, parents, brothers, sisters, relatives, friends of people fighting in a war...all the innocents.
Very sad.
Not a John Wayne story.
