Mankind Man Unkind tells the real story of Vietnam, which was revealed when the soldiers returned home. They scattered about the country in the hopes of assimilating into society despite the myth projected on the television, in the papers, and within the covers of neatly tucked magazines. Contrary to all the TV shows and news stemming from Vietnam, the guys serving there were not killers, village burners, or drug addicts. They were one’s brothers and fathers, sons, cousins and classmates, neighbors and friends.
