This Is What We Do (July-December 1967)

What brave young men, who were fighting for a principle they believed in. To put their lives in danger over and over again. Some were wounded in one campaign, only to find themselves again facing death. The problem is that while they were doing what they could, they were being betrayed by propaganda and self aggrandizement from politicians and generals (one in particular). They were given bad information and inadequate weaponry. They were fighting on a terrain and with a culture that they weren't prepared for. This episode makes it so clear that this was about as ugly as anything our soldiers have ever faced. Eighteen and nineteen year old going up a hill where the North had built bunkers and set up their weapons, slaughtered. What was given to Americans was, "Yes, we lost 120 men but look how many we killed. Pride goeth before the fall and there was so much pride by people who knew they would never think of setting foot on these battlefields.
