This is the story of Arnold Bondley and his time in Vietnam as a psychological operations squad leader.

Drafted at 18, Arnold was one of two and a half million Americans and over 6000 young Australians and New Zealanders sent to Vietnam under the auspices of fighting the spread of communism. After two tours (19 months) of service, Arnold returned home deeply traumatized. For years, he tried to suppress the memories, burying the thoughts that haunted him. But after four decades of flashbacks, nightmares, and daily battles with his past, he could no longer outrun the war. Like more than 60,000 other Vietnam veterans, Arnold took his own life.
