Overview

Military conscription, commonly known as the draft, is one of the most complex topics related to the Vietnam War. It is emotional for many people - those who chose to serve when drafted, those who sought deferments to delay or avoid serving, to those who refused to serve and went to jail or left the country. Although statistics from different sources often conflict, it is clear that the draft was grossly unfair to segments of the population, especially early in the war. This book details the rigors of pre-war training, enduring combat from the jungles northeast of Saigon to the Mekong Delta, and living with demons brought on by the war. After the author's service overseas, he returns home to learn Vietnam Veterans are shunned and shamed by the general public. Wilson provides insight to lessons learned from the Vietnam War that should always be remembered; the underlying message being, never force men to war unless our liberty and freedom are compromised and there is no other choice!
