I got this obsession with the Vietnam War so I thought it'd be awesome if I could hang out with a Vietnam War vet.

KAL,
I recommend you go to the local VA hospital and see if you can due some volunteer time particularly around the holiday period as there are many veterans who do not have family.
I am sure both the facility and the veterans would apprecdiate your time.
By the way I'm a Vietnam Veteran and I'm retired fromn the Army. Stay away from the VFW and all the tall war stories.

Anyone I have known thru the years refuses to discuss the war in Vietnam--the ones that talk about it are the ones that never saw combat. Get a good book and read up on it. Or go to some homeless shelters at least 1/4 of the homeless are Nam Vets according to a recent poll.

There are two things of which the average person on the street is better off remaining ignorant.
First is how sausage is made.
Second is how war is waged.
And no thank you, I don't want to hang out and tell stories.

theres a 1% chance anyone who was in that war would want to talk to you about it, it was horrible, things happened in that war that were unimaginable, nobody who fought in that war came back the same, just look it up on the internet.

No!
You've got issues.
About you: Whistle while you work, Hitler was a jerk, Mussolini bit his wieney then it didn't work.
Try the VFW drinks thing and you can find out all you want. Luckily, I was in Thailand then and avoided being in Nam.
GOOD luck.

Oh dear! you really shouldn't be having obsessions about such things, it is not healthy at all, please try and find something else to focus on
