== Comments on the reading versus the movie ==
Philip Caputo mentions how like aliens he and other Vietnam vets felt when they returned to "the world."  He said "...within a year I was growing nostalgic for the war."  We saw that in the movie when Ron and Timmy were reunited (after Ron's parade).  They were esctatic to see one another, and afterward they sat outside talking and talking about the war.  No one understood them like they understood each other.  We saw this same phenomenon in "Best Years of Our Lives," when the men wanted each others' company more than they wanted to be with their families.  Their notion of family had changed, in a way.  Ron is certainly aliented from his family.  His brother is anit-war, and none of the others even '''asked''' him about his experiences.  He had no one to talk to.  His mother had her own ideology which seemed fixed no matter what the facts were--she is shown turning the channel from news casts to watch "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In."  --- Debbi S.
