Default Forrest Gump Movie

Really like that movie except the part that I always skip. So last night I was watching it , so I fast forwarded past the Viet Nam scenes, Wife goes: I'm watching the movie too, why did You fast forward it? I said You wouldn't understand, but You could always go back and watch it in it's entirety when I'm not here. Then it "Donned" oh I'm sorry I know You didn't like the part where "Bubba" died. I really have a hard time with this scene, even though
when the movie first aired it wasn't as bad, but as time passed, and the deployments of My 2 Sons to Iraq ( 2 month apart) deployments, and the increase level of the PTSD as I see it, is so much different. I mean How many combat veteran did not witness a buddy
taking His lat breath. And finally the combat medic, Wow! couldn't even imagine what They experienced after the Viet Nam war, not to mention other wars. "Doc" Jerguson is the only
one that I shared My canned hormel ham with. We loved Our medic. Thanks to all Of You
great Doc's. Oh I could also get the GI gin when I asked for it.
