    I went to the Củ Chi tunnels in Vietnam as a tourist, and was there with a bunch of Americans. Most of them started crying while they were there and felt horrible that their country was involved in something so awful and horrible.

    A lot of those same people voted for Trump.

    Americans…i’ll never understand them.

      They only know shame when told their country was shameful. They do not have the judgement to know how to feel about a thing until they are told.

      They… showed reflection, empathy, and regret? I don’t think those specific Americans did vote for Trump.

    A veteran tunnel rat has a hard time adjusting to life after war.
