There's a troll in the CanPol megathread who likes to poo poo on Dallaire for having PTSD.I fall for the bait more than I should because what he went through should be a test for military colleges. In that situation as a commanding officer, do you; 1) Intervene, and watch every man and woman under your command, as well as every man, woman and child you were ordered to protect murdered in the most horrific possible fashion before dying yourself? or, 2) Don't intervene, and watch some of the men under your command, as well as every man, woman and child you were ordered to protect murdered in the most horrific possible fashion? There is no right answer. Both are poo poo. The situation was poo poo.

Dispatches is amazing Matterhorn is loving soul crushing, much as I imagine Vietnam was.

As an aside, Karl Marlantes of Matterhorn fame is in the Ken Burns Vietnam War documentary It is not hard to see the rage he still carries inside him.
