"Out in the field you were all in the same predicament, with nothing between you and the piece of metal with your name on it except the whim of God." - Kate Webb

"I was struck that war, for all its brutality and horror, nevertheless offered men an opportunity like no other to be fearless and brave, to be selfless, to be a hero." - Jurate Kazickas

"In my youth I thought I was invincible, that if I didn't get shot or visibly maimed, I'd get a way clean. But surviving a war doesn't mean you escape being its victim." - Tad Bartimus

"War's eternal mystery is that some humans die and some don't, and nobody gets to choose." - Tad Bartimus

All of these are quotes from women who went to Vietnam as reporters.


“We have an all-volunteer military, but we, the platoon of parents, wives, children and husbands of those who serve, are given only one choice: to love or not. Our job is to struggle with our fears in plain sight of the carefree lives we used to live, and in plain sight of our friends and leaders who have no direct involvement; no loved ones at risk… no skin in the game.” --Frank Schaeffer

If I am asked what we are fighting for, I can reply in two sentences. In the first place, to fulfil a solemn international obligation . . . an obligation of honor which no self-respecting man could possibly have repudiated. I say, secondly, we are fighting to vindicate the principle that small nationalities are not to be crushed in defiance of international good faith at the arbitrary will of a strong and overmastering Power.
