The Vietnam War was a tragic conflict that left countless soldiers with lifelong scars. In this audio, Captain John Methven shares his experiences as a platoon commander and Regiment Signals Officer with the 7th Battalion Royal Australian Regiment that was stationed at the Australian base at Nui Dat. Captain John Methvan gives an emotional account of the traumas of war. The unfairness of the Australian conscription system for Vietnam. "There was something basically wrong with that type of system". The impact of agent orange (chemicals) and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and how many people were antagonistic towards them when coming back. John speaks of the denial by governments about the impacts of war and not wanting to take accountability for the soldiers they sent away to fight. 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.
