74% would go again, even knowing the outcome? How did they get that statistic now...?Perhaps 74% of the ones who survived would go again knowing the outcome, but, then again, that really says extremely little. They would have gone for a year, survived, for their country (even if it's my personal opinion that the Vietnam "incident" was a mistake), and gone home once again.
I seriously doubt 74% of those who died would also contend that with foresight of the outcome, they'd have still gone.
Of course, if they specified they meant the Vets, I wouldn't go this far, but it just rings badly to my ears.
