Default The Face of my Enemy

Most of the actions my unit were involved in during my tour were with the NVA. Primarily the 6th, 9th and 29th Regiments. They very well may have been farmers at some point but these units were professional soldiers, well trained and well armed. Remember, a great number of American soldiers were farmers also. There has always been "two sides to a story" Them vs. Us and so on and so on. I'll get the book but just because it puts "a face" on the enemy (humanizes) it doesn't make their cause a just one.
