My brother came back from Vietnam changed. I spent years reading every book about that war to try to understand. He is gone now, out of his torment and I still don't understand. This movie explains a lot. When you are in the middle of a pitched battle, with your blood and the blood of your comrades all over you, and fighting the angel of death away from your wounded friends, people like Pitsenbarger are like angels. I begin to understand what my brother went through, now. Americans need to learn to "bleed" with our soldiers that go through battle for us. NEVER FORGET!
