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

2018-01-20 00:28:27 UTC  

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

2018-01-20 00:28:56 UTC  

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

2018-01-20 00:29:05 UTC  

War syndromes.

2018-01-20 00:29:15 UTC  

Ever read On Killing?

2018-01-20 00:29:25 UTC  

No

2018-01-20 00:29:43 UTC  

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

2018-01-20 00:29:47 UTC  

pretty crazy shit.

2018-01-20 00:29:51 UTC  

Nah but I should lol

2018-01-20 00:29:57 UTC  

pdf of on killing

2018-01-20 00:30:03 UTC  

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

2018-01-20 00:30:11 UTC  

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

2018-01-20 00:30:13 UTC  

Nam*

2018-01-20 00:30:23 UTC  

He was a Marine who was Drafted

2018-01-20 00:31:43 UTC  

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

2018-01-20 00:31:59 UTC  

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

2018-01-20 00:32:30 UTC  

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

2018-01-20 00:33:36 UTC  

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

2018-01-20 00:33:47 UTC  

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

2018-01-20 00:34:20 UTC  

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

2018-01-20 00:34:20 UTC  

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

2018-01-20 00:34:47 UTC  

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

2018-01-20 00:35:05 UTC  

Wow.

2018-01-20 00:35:27 UTC  

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

2018-01-20 00:35:34 UTC  

I'd highly recommend

2018-01-20 00:36:18 UTC  

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

2018-01-20 00:36:27 UTC  

By the end, he said he was numb emotionally.

2018-01-20 00:36:47 UTC  

Yeah Nam was nut

2018-01-20 00:36:49 UTC  

nuts*

2018-01-20 00:36:54 UTC  

Walking through the wreckage with dead children.

2018-01-20 00:37:17 UTC  

And it really proves wrong the way people pretend our zionist army could stop the Islamic extremists if we were just more brutal

2018-01-20 00:37:32 UTC  

"Well if we just killed em all and bombed their villages, I bet they'd stop."

2018-01-20 00:37:35 UTC  

Didnt work in Nam fucker

2018-01-20 00:38:23 UTC  

He eventually went back to vietnam like 20 years later, brought his daughter with him.
