I walked in to find my SO deeply engrossed in watching the History Chanel last night!! It seems they have a new Documentary on the Vietnam War which will run all week with a new segment each night!! Last night showed how we originally got involved in Vietnam and tonight they are having one on the Tet Offensive (spelling)!! According to my SO it is very well done and quite factual!! He claimed it did not bother him to watch it BUT I could clearly see that it did!! I am not at all sure that it benefits our Veterans to watch these things BUT short of installing a filter on the TV I really don't know what to do!!
It airs from 9-11 Eastern Time and will continue up to and including Veteran's Day (naturally he is recording all the episodes)!! My SO and his unit were the first Marines to land in Vietnam and I am sure it brought back many, many memories!! My heart breaks realizing what those memories must be like BUT it also helps me to gain some more understanding as to why he sometimes acts and reacts as he does and in the process temper my reactions to it as more and more I am coming to realize so very much of his mood changes is HIM and NOT ME and thus not take it all so personally!!
