Insubordination

I was reading about how near the end of the Vietnam conflict, US soldiers were refusing to fight in increasing numbers. They flat-out refused orders. One soldier was asked if he feared punishment.

He said, "What're they gonna do? Send me to Vietnam?"

I'm glad we went to the war museum in Saigon. After hearing one side of the conflict all of my life, it was eye opening to see the other.
