    “Imagine your worst day, multiply it by a hundred, and pray to your God
    that you never experience what some of the people in this war zone go
    through, everyday, without any hope of it getting better. Ever. Compared
    to these people, every day, no matter how bad, is the best day ever. I
    know nothing about pain, nothing about suffering and hopefully never will.”
    ― Hendri Coetzee, Living the Best Day Ever

    “The entire belief was insulting to many of us, but nonetheless, the term “top trained,” which would come to be regurgitated with great regularity by hospital administration and by Dr. Kowatch, would eventually evolve to become what I would describe as an unhealthy infatuation, one that I now understand represented the developing disconnect between the majority of the Heart Center team and hospital administration, which would ultimately have detrimental effects on the program, which would become visible to all in the near future.”
    ― DEAN MAFAKO, M.D., Burned Out

    Michael G. Kramer
    “The April forced ‘Resettlement’ of the villages of Long Phuoc, and Long Tan inflamed the already seething hatred of foreigners by the local Vietnamese people. They had only recently removed the French yoke after almost a century of cruel and repressive French rule. Now here were the Americans and their allies who in the Vietnamese eyes were continuing to do as the French had done before them. Into this sort of environment of hate, the Australian soldiers were sent to complete what the Americans had started.”
