For people who went to Vietnam and whose unit had a really rough go of things -- would you still go back and do it again if given the chance?

CPT Aaron Kletzing I made the choice to enlist because I thought that supporting South Vietnam was a just cause. I would do it again. I always try to make the best decisions that I can, and move on. My best friend was killed the day after I left country. I do regret brothers lost.

Yes, if I had to do it over again I would. That experience made me the man I am today. I served in the Army for eight and a half years. As a combat infantry soldier I served with the 101st Airborne and the 1st Air Cavalry in Vietnam. I’m proud of my service.

Yes!

Yes I would. I made the choice when I was 14 and at 18 I was in country. And I find it strange when you ask “particularly for people whose units Vietnam got torn up pretty bad.

Hoorah and Hell Yes, I would not change a thing and YES I would do it all over again, just maybe a little smarter............

I was treated pretty bad when I came back, no one would give me a job, my first wife took my kids,my home found a new man that did not have anything to do with the military/Vietnam, make no mistake I’m not not nuts, yes I would do it all over again.

Given the same circumstances yes. If you are saying if I knew then what I know now . . . who among us would do it again? Going to the past with prior knowledge would change the lives of millions. I do not think the politicians would do it again knowing how things turned out.

Knowing the history of the USA and a new war comes around, would I sign up and go? Yes, as a matter of fact I did just that and came out of retirement to served in Iraq in 2006.

Yes, in a heartbeat. I am thankful I came back alive and kicking. Too many didn't.

In a heartbeat. Just wish all of the Vietnamese I came to know hadn't had to go through all they experienced since we abandoned them.
