Dear Don Poss,
In the course of fighting the Vietcong’s, I am fascinated by the fact that many U.S. soldiers carried out their missions and kill lots of soldiers during missions such as the Operation Rolling Thunder. However, I was wondering how the air pilots of the B-52’s felt when they massively killed tons of innocent civilians along with VC’s during the bombing of North Vietnam because there were people that did not want to have anything to do with the fighting. I understand and admire the soldiers’ burden to accomplish each murderous mission, but was there a sense of denying the missions because they didn’t want to kill anymore?
Sincerely,
William
