Re: Did this book change your views on the Vietnam war?
As a kid before, I thought, war stories were just a sort of entertainment for kids. When I am old enough to understand, how devastating it was for the families of the war. Deadly Waters reminds the new generation about war heroes which needs justice, not just merely for the soldiers, but to families that were still alive.
The sad truth: war heroes are almost forgotten, they are sometimes remembered when war strikes again. I'm glad I came across with this book. I learned new things, especially Agent Orange.

For one, I was disgusted by what our very own country's servicemen and women have to face when they've followed orders to the T, only to have to come home and be treated second-class again.
The realities that "no one wins a war". I was emotional because I didn't want to feel any victory when the "enemy" mission was a "success" - there's no success when innocent lives are obliterated, livelihoods were impacted that never recovered. I sympathized with any solider who went AWOL. Enlisted or not, I know I wouldn't have the courage it took to fo what even half of those involved did.

Same here! But I did think it was a great opportunity to learn so much that I didn't know, and I thought the author did a great job of describing the war and its aftermath.AntoineOMEGA wrote: ↑28 Nov 2019, 21:20 This book did not change my views because I knew practically nothing about it.

Agreed. The minds of the people were forever altered by the shadiness and manipulation behind the war, and we still feel the effects of that disillusionment today.Herbstlicht wrote: ↑15 Nov 2019, 05:21Dito. I well understand why people mark it as "the loss of the American innocence "
