After the Vietnam War, many Vietnam War veterans had to deal with the after effects. According to an interview from an article title, "Beyond Vietnam," a twenty year old soldier named Gary talked about his experience on both sides of the War. He explained the after effects of the village in Vietnam neither standing on the side of the VC or the ARVIN's, whom were the good guys. Gary claimed that all the old Vietnamese knew how to do was capture territory and kill. War and fighting was what they were all about. He said "They (regarding the Vietnamese) did it with bullets and knifes, we (American) today do it with taxes, political connections and "I can get away with it because I'm powerful attitudes (http://www.pbs.org/cgi-bin/pov/response.cgi/discuss/17/)." Gary brought up a very good question. Which is worse, physical death or moral death? It is obvious that Gary has suffered from the after effects of the Vietnam War. He says, "I did hang in there and serve my time, Now I pay with soul and mind." Gary is just one of the many people still effected by the Vietnam War.
