HI. I am using combat as the comparison. Had been in Germany, or anywhere else in Asia, like a buddy who spent his tour in Bangkok, the tour would have been great. But, facing the existential threat daily took the fun out of it. I recommend Vietnam Uncensored - 365 Days in a NIghtmare now on Amazon -https://www.amazon.com/vietnam-uncensored-365-days-nightmare/s?k=vietnam+uncensored+365+days+in+a+nightmare at a reduced price for the holidays, and stand with me to make a contribution to our brothers in need with proceeds from your purchase to the Kaufman Fund. It will be a great read and as other vets told me, I said more than anyone else in my "uncensored" version. Just a suggestion to help. Thanks.
