No one gets how bad it is. My grandfather was in ww2. He told me about it. How would you like to be walking through a open field, not a person in sight. The all of the sudden, a bullet wisses past your head, you see your best friend fall to the ground and stops breathing while blood pours over his face. Then you break out running, you hear a thundering roar, and see a glint of steel falling through the air, you run out of the way and tell your buddy to run, he starts to run when you hit the dirt and the bomb blows up about 7 feet bahind him, he comes flying forward and lands in front of you. He looks at you with his eyes moving back and forth. You thank god he's alive and you stand up to see half of him is gone. The eye movements were just muscle spasms. There were 19 left out of a platoon of 55. Their planes had napalmed the area, destroying the guns. How would you like to be burned all over your body from gas tanks that exploded and have a bug in your ear the whole time you had a full body cast on. Or would you like to have appendicitus over 300 miles from the nearest MASH and have to drive in a busted up jeep all that way? How would you like to do that?
