19 In 1965 Vietnam seemed like just another foreign war, but it wasn't. It was different in many ways, as so were tose that did the fighting. In World War II the average age of the combat soldier was 26... In Vietnam he was 19. In inininininin Vietnam he was 19.

There are no accurate figures of how many of these men have been incarcerated. But, a Veterans Administration study concludes that the greater of Vets exposure to combat could more likely affect his chances of being arrested or convicted.

Elle était différente pour bien des raisons. Et les combattants aussi étaient differents. En 39-45, lâge moyen des soldats était de 26 ans. Au VietNam, ils en avaient 19. Au au au au au VietNam, ils en avaient 19. Au au au au au VietNam, ils en avaient 19.

All those who remember the war They wont forget what theyve seen Destruction of men and rights Whose average age was 19 Destruction, destruction Daprès une étude de ladministration américaine, plus de la moitié des anciens combattants souffrent de ce que les psychiatres appellent des troubles consécutifs à un choc dramatique. Beaucoup se plaignent de cauchemars, de traumatismes, et certains succombent à des idées suicidaires. Huit à dix ans après leur retour, près de 800 000 hommes ont encore le VietNam dans la tête.
