man in vietnam should be standing there saying, i am guilty, too. that s how i feel. every one of them. vietnam, fifth cavalry, initiating new men. start out by seeing a little song. you re going open in a body bag, doo-dah you re going home in a body bag all the doo-dah day the day after the initiation, five men came back in body bags. by the 70s, the u.s. army in vietnam had been essentially destroyed. every time we tangled with the vietnamese, we were getting killed, and there was no end to it. so you ve got what amounted to a state of individual mutiny in the u.s. army. it s senseless.
