When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro – Hunter S. Thompson


Over 2.5 million Americans were drafted during the Vietnam War. To serve one's country in times of war is a sacrifice, but draftees of the Vietnam era had an altogether unique experience. Young men going about their normal lives, making plans for the future were suddenly jerked out of their cozy civilian existence and plunged into the craziness of Army life and war in a foreign land.

Watch Dave's interview as he talks about his experiences of a high school teacher going to Vietnam.
