Watching Ken Burns' documentary on the Vietnam War I was astounded how regular these seemingly futile land grabs were, where the US forces would fight day and night to take control of a mountain or hill, losing scores of men, only to abandon the gained territory in search of another such hill just to be taken control of by the Vietcong immediately after leaving. Were you at the time or even now aware of / reflective of how much futility to the point of carelessness or hypocrisy there was in this war? If so, did / does this reality affect how you feel about your time as a PoW and what it was really for?

Isn't he dead?
