Sufferings of an exVietnam soilder

“Everything seems to point back to Vietnam. Something incredible happened, something so bad that it’s probably the root of all his mental problems.”

The doctor stood over the exVietnam soilder, and sadly shook his head.

“It is a tragedy. Many good men were lost, and when they returned they faced the oppostion of the U.S civilians. Not only that, but most came back with drug addictions, mental problems, or both; like this guy.”

The doctor walked over to his patient who was once again shaking and convulsing, suffering from heroin withdrawal.
