Pa) AH

lost an arm, a leg and a good chunk of his face during the
Vietnam War.

“1 was sitting on an M+88 (tank) with my legs ‘isiaten
over the boom,"’ the burly, bearded 38-year-old recalls in a
kind of easy story-telling tone of voice more in keeping with
tales of love than the horrors of war.

**We didn’t expect any ‘unfriendlies’ in the area, But
suddenly, a rocket came out of the jungle.

“+1 was hit in the left knee. There were shrapnel wounds
everywhere.

“I’ve got a completely artificial left leg. My left arm
was smashed to the point where they had to amputate it at
the elbow.

**It knocked out my teeth. My upper lip was gone, so
was most of my face. I needed plastic surgery for years, still
do.”

BACK FORTOUR

Amazingly, McCausland is not bitter about the hand
that fate dealt him. Here he was, along with about a dozen
other veterans of the war, ona three-week tour of tlit coun-
try’s old battlefields, organized by the U.S. Vietnam
Veterans Association.

Sipping acold beer ina nondescript Hanoi hotel room,
McCausland says he and fiis friends even miss the ‘‘enor-
mous rush,”’ the sense of being ‘incredibly alive’’ that
came with the war.

McCausland is no extreme example of the lingering ef-
fects of the Vietnam War, which cost 58,000 American lives
and Vietnamese military and civilian deaths estimated at up
to one million.

The war remains a catharic, self-defining experience
today to millions of Vietnamese and Americans who were
caught up in its direct violence, in the heated protests on
American streets, in the waves of young Americans who
fled the military draft or in the later exodus of Vietnamese
families who escaped in leaky boats to havens in Canada
and other western countries.

The passionate opposition the war aroused in the
United § s in the 1960s and early ’70s, and the shock to
many Americans of what they see as the first-ever U.S
military defeat, shape American politics to this day.

VOICED BY BUSH

In his inaugural address, President George Bush ap-
pealed to the Democratic-controlled Congress for co-
operation to end the ‘‘divisiveness” which he said is a
lingering aftermath of Vietnam.

**The war cleaves us still,"’ Bush said.

Stanley Karnow, a journalist who covered the war ex-
tensively, saysinhis recent book-Vietnam:A History.

**Millions of Americans share ... collective disenchan-
tment known as~the~Vietnam ~syndrome (which) has
restrained U.S. leaders from undertaking hazardous ven-
tures since the war ended.

“Had it not been for Vietnam, the Carter ad-
ministration might have manoeuvred either openly or
covertly to thwart the advance of leftist movements (which
seized power) in Ethiopia and Angola or to save the shah of
Iran from collapse...

“<The fear of entanglement in another jungle conflict
has also ranged the American people squarely against in-
volvement in the crises testing Central Ametica (in the
1980s)."

Others argue that the conservative rebound against the
Vietnam syndrome — most noticeable recently in movies
like the Rambo series — helped build public support for
former president Ronald Reagan’s military rearmament
policies

. WRECKED ECONOMY

In Vietnam, the fighting in the 1960s and ‘70s,
especially saturation U.S. bombing, destroyed the coun
try’s transportation network and impoverished its
economy.

The country, reunified by the communist victory in
1975, hasn't recovered, although experts say economic
mismanagement is at least an equal factor in current woes.

But it’s on the personal level where the lingering effects
are most apparent

“It was a crystal-clear experience to us,”’ says Mc-
Caustand, whose American-born parents returned with
him.to the United States when he was 12 years old, making
him subject to the military draft.

“You were aware of your own mortality every minute
of theday,”’ he says slowly, almost therapeutically.

“You were on the edge, very aware. You were in-
credibly alive. You realized that life could be taken away at
any second. So you lived very hard, very in-depth,

“Those of us who experienced that feeling can’t forget
it,’ says McCausland, who now lives near Akron, Ohio.
“So we try to bring it back later inlife.

“We engage in silly, death-defying acts like driving a
motorcycle along the edge of a cliff at 80 miles an hour.

“*But it’s impossible to ever get it back. That’s what
makes us crazy, different than the res!

. . Vietnam ‘cleaves us still’

Many veterans have never completely readjusted to
civilian li

In a few heavily publicized incidents, they have lost
control and started killing again, often indiscriminately,
before they themselves are killed, or locked away for good.

Decades later, others still need psychiatric help.

Americans weren't the only westerners who fought in
Vietnam, of course. Several other countries, including”
Australia and South Korea, also sent troops officially to
fight on the side of South Vietnam, and many individuals

when their gover

More than 20,000 of them were Canadians and at least
66 died in the fighting. Many of the survivors want Ottawa
to provide them with the same benefits as veterans of other
wars.

But Gen. Paul Manson, chief of defence staff, recently
told Canadian veterans of Vietnam that the government
doesn’t recognize the voluntary participation of Canadians
in foreign conflicts in which’Canada does not take part of-
ficially-

TERRIBLE LOSSE:

in Vietnam, virtually every family lost at least one
member in the conflict.

Do Van Vang, director of an agricultural co-operative
just north of Hanoi, remembers his service as a lieutenant in
the North Vietnamese army from 1967 to '76 as ‘‘very
terrible”’ days

“1 can’t count the number of friends I had to bury,”’
he said one bright, warm morning recently

**I had to carry them in my arms from the battlefields.
They were heavy, so heavy. So was my heart."”

Vang says he doesn’t drink alcohol much these days.
But the memories make him crack a beer, then a second and
athird, even though it’s only 10 a.m.

“Iwas lucky,” he finally says, pulling up his shirt

Deep scars in long, vivid lines stretch across his rib
cage.

“‘Napalm,” he says simply

VOICE OF HANOI

For others, the biggest impact came years later

No veteran could forget Hanoi Hannah,
voiced North Vietnamese radio propagandist whose daily
English broadcasts made her as widely known in her day as
the infamous Tokyo Rose of the Second World War

The nickname Hanoi Hannah and her fame amuse the
woman whose real name is Trinh Thi Ngo and who actually
broadcast under the name Thu Huong (Vietnamese for
Fragrance of Autumn)

**L tried to demoralize them so they wouldn't take part
in the war,” she says witha shy laugh

Today, she’s a grandmother in Ho Chi Minh City,
formerly Saigon, and is retired although she works oc
casionally as a radio and television consultant or interpreter
for western visitors.

She doesn’t laugh, however, when the talk turns to her
family

Her only son defected to the West years ago, a severe
embarrassment for one of the few peopte in Vietnam who
still talk in the communist orthodoxy about puppet regimes
and American imperialists.

“I hope he is still living,”’ she says simply. ‘All | know
is that he’s somewhere in the capitalist countries."”

For others, the lingering effects of the war, the hatreds
and passions it engendered are more obvious
