Subject: Response To "Payback . . ."

I am really surprised by what you have written about your past experience in the Vietnam War. I am sorry what have happened to your fallen comrades, it must have been very difficult for you to just stand there watching them in pain while there isn�t much that you can do at that time. Revenge can be a deadly thing; I know how you wanted revenge on what happened to your combatants. You were scared of dying which then changed into pure hatred for revenge. Our teacher, who has assigned us this task to read your stories, has demonstrated how during war you cannot have any emotions and I was wondering if that was true. People can only tell you what happened but that is only half of the real story because the other half is how you felt and overall emotions. The hatred is still with you and won�t go away, I am sorry for what has happened to you. As you said life does go on and I hope yours was better than it was in the past. You still have the memories kept dearly to yourself of all the great people you fought along. You must have been proud to fight along side of them.
