This game gets some intense fire fights, i love the Vietnam War, so scenic, such Americana history.

I just hate everyone having automatics lol

True, but thats how it was, well the Vietcong did use homemade rifles.

But they also made SMG's by hand

Oh yeah I know, its a good game and for the most part pretty faithful

I just love the mechanics of WW2 more as it's just more balanced

I also know Vietnam was the worst war for PTSD and other things.

War syndromes.

Ever read On Killing?

No

Ever read Tim O' Briens series of books on his travels in vietnam?

pretty crazy shit.

Nah but I should lol

pdf of on killing

Although some say he majorly exxagerated some stuff or lied a bit.

He explains at length in certain parts why PTSD was so prevalent in Na

Nam*

He was a Marine who was Drafted

Its really interesting shit about human's natural aversion to killing and he goes all the way back to Roman times, to find how commanders would complain about the difficulty in training legionarres to stab rather than slash

Interesting fact. 25% of pilots in WW2 were responsible for 75% of kills

Nam was one of the first wars where America as an example really perfected the ability of training conscripts to actually shoot at bad guys

Yeah, in the American civil war, all the way back to the Napoleonic war, it was called "Bullet wind syndrome"

They thought it was caused by the shock of almost being shot

Yeah up until Cold War times, a unit was usually based around a group of guys assisting the one person willing to actually kill

The real causes didnt come out until the first world war.

WW1 was where they actually began to really figure out that it was like only a quarter of guys actually shooting at their targets lol

Wow.

It talks about Civil War too with a specific battle I cant recall where they found thousands of routed soldiers rifles left behind unfired

I'd highly recommend

Tim O'brien talks about them napalming villages of innocent people to clear out enemy combatants and shooting dogs etc

By the end, he said he was numb emotionally.
