MaxineIt's difficult to imagine that anyone at that time over the age of 5 or 6 was not in some way (great or small) affected by the conflict in Vietnam. And the rest were affected in some way a bit later when they grew older in the aftermath of it. Iraq has captured the attention of many Americans now, but Vietnam is just a blink of the eye away for some who were directly involved. They can reach out and touch it as if it was yesterday. Though it may not affect their lives in a great way today, it is part of who they are. They are profoundly shaped for their participation in it. Just like the soldiers who are in Iraq now (and were the first time around) will have the spectre of the conflict with them for the rest of their lives.
