I haven't read anything by Paul Fussell, except for reviews of his books. It is an oversight to be sure.

I don't have to read to hear the stories, though. My cousin's husband from Ruidoso was a medic in the Special Forces and spent 2 years in Nam and 2 more in Laos.

A few times a week him and some buddies get together in his shop and have some beers and shoot the breeze. In between the jokes and stories of local adventures, they talk about their days in Vietnam. Some of it is pretty riveting stuff.

I'd like to hear McNamara or one of his ilk talk about "corollary casualties" to that crew.
