Question

Describe the fears and concerns that were shared in the letters home & those that seemed to be

Answer 1

Answer:

The soldiers were afraid of death. This was their biggest concern, but they were also afraid of being seriously injured, weakened and physically disabled. This was omitted from most of the letters they sent to their families, as well as information about who was already disabled as a result of the fighting. These concerns were largely omitted by the soldiers so that they would not frighten their families.

Explanation:

This question is about "Dear America: Letters Home from Vietnam," a documentary film that presents a year of a soldier's life during the Vietnam War. The film shows the terror of war and how it influences a soldier's psychological, his fears, concerns and the uncertainty of his days. The film features a series of letters, where soldiers keep in touch with their families, but omit situations, events and thoughts so as not to worry their families.
