WWI and Vietnam

WWI had just massive, idiotic killing. The trench warfare was ridiculous with numerous, highly unqualified officers (for the Brits) sending men in droves to die to gain a trench or two that would be lost in a few days.

Vietnam had the unknown factor and the beginning of guerilla warfare on a huge scale. Couldn't imagine being in such an unfamiliar, unforgiving place never knowing where the enemy might be hiding. It's been a while since I read Four hours in My Lai, but I can imagine mental states were way off when that massacre happened.

Unrelated, MASH is best war centric, non documentary, show.
