Read Matterhorn by Karl Marlantes. Man lived through every single horror that was depicted in the book, only the names were changed. Took him 30 years to finish this work of "fiction". If this were an autobiography, you'd feel sympathy and move on. Because its fiction, you are right there in Vietnam next to Karl, with jungle rot in your feet and a leech crawling inside your penis.
