The Vietnam War was a very stressful time for soldiers. They were away from their families, they had to deal with being in a war zone and they were often subjected to violence. When soldiers would return from combat missions they found ways to relax. Often this would involve drinking large amounts of beer and watching movies and live shows when available. It's easy to see why they wanted to escape their memories and enjoy themselves once they were back at base! In this video, Captain John Methven (Ret) shares Australian soldier experiences as a platoon commander and Regiment Signals Officer with the 2nd Battalion Royal Australian Regiment that was stationed at the Australian base at Nui Dat. John has dedicated his life to fighting for the recognition of Vietnam Veterans and assisting veterans dealing with PTSD and the impacts of agent orange. John is the founder and curator of the National Vietnam Veterans Museum at Philip Island in Victoria Australia.
