Description

Charles Sabatier served in the United States Army in the Vietnam War. Paralyzed by a bullet wound, he spent his post-war life as an activist for the disabled. He discusses his impressions of the Army at the time, and details the events surrounding his injury during the Tet Offensive. He describes his reintegration to American society and the struggles he faced as a veteran of an unpopular war and a disabled person. Mr. Sabatier tells of how his feelings toward the war changed, and how his paralysis changed his view of himself. He concludes with his thoughts on the anti-war movement, and expresses an understanding toward the Vietnamese against whom he fought.
