Because it's not.
If you haven't seen someone hit the ground when they simply hear a helicopter, or go through the tests for Agent Orange or some of the other diseases picked up in Viet Nam (and Desert Storm, for that matter), you don't really understand.
Twenty years after my brother returned from Viet Nam, he was driving me out to the airport, and I made the mistake of asking him something about Viet Nam. He had to pull over from the anxiety - and I will never tell what he told me about it. As I said earlier, most Viet Nam veterans were against the war when they returned.
