John says: “We were involved in Vietnam because we were part of a very large treaty organisation.
Part of the world treaty that if your country in Austria as an example was attacked by someone we would as part of this treaty be here to support you. That’s the way we operate in the United States.” If the US has a treaty with a country, they will therefore help that country.

John says: “It makes you appreciate what your country stands for, and it also makes you appreciate how good your family has been to you over the years getting you to the age you are in school and taking care of you.” According to John, serving your country therefore makes you grateful to your parents.
