Mon. 3/26 11a: Many stories about the  Vietnam War are told from those who were in direct combat on the  battlefields. A view beyond the fighting has been recently published.  From looking like the enemy to becoming familiar with Vietnamese culture  are some of the stories shared by a Native soldier who was in an  isolated camp and had extensive contact with rural villagers.
