experience
good luck on this one. as a group, the nam vets are pretty mum about their experiences. this comes from interviews that lead off with the question asked many different ways but all with the same theme, "how many babies did you kill"? i can tell you that the philosophy of war hasn't changed since the romans no matter how high tech the participants may get, kill him before he kills you. and as a very great man once said, your job is not to give your life for your country, it is to get the other guy to give his life for his country.
