Vietnam War Mortuary Affairs tells his story

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ERsJANJ2XWA&pp=ygUbVmlldG5hbSBtb3J0aWNpYW4gaW50ZXJ2aWV3

I am fascinated with vietnam war vet interviews on youtube and they are very well documented and many are excellent. 

This one stands out however. It is an interview of a guy who was drafted and assigned mortuary duties in Vietnam. This morgue processed all the combat dead form
the war. He tells his story and it is shocking chilling amazing sad heartwarming at the same time. It really blew my mind.

I mean think of the PTSD this guy had. We are talking a year of cleaning up combat dead and sending them home on pallets. But this guy is amazing. Everyone
focuses on the fighting part but this guy had to deal with the aftermath of it all. 

The war must feel so senseless to someone having to clean up the dead. 

Anyway highly recommended. In case anyone has weird historical interests like me . 

This is definitely a Facebook worthy post.

the old days the dead were left laying or thrown into a mass grave by the enemy.
the War of 1812 had a mass grave in Maryland, now covered by a landfill.
