All those guys were such fine young men; and their deaths affected the whole unit more than any other crap we had to endure the year I was there. I am so sorry you had to go through all that other crap; I didn't know any of that had happened. There isn't any way any individual could be blamed for the activity of the VC and the NVA --- but sometimes I guess people just go kinda nuts. When Warren Lively was killed I didn't feel up to going to the memorial for him --- but was required to. The Flight Surgeon grounded me for 2 days afterwards, I was such a basket case. I am just in the past couple of years starting to adjust to all that crap, and to recognize just how much it hurt me --- and all of us.
