Trauma of The Vietnam War For

Personnel.
The Department of Veterans
Affairs Matsunaga Vietnam
Veterans Project.
Military personnel of many
ethnocultural backgrounds served
with distinction in the Vietnam
War. The 1988 National Vietnam
Veterans Readjustment Study
(NV VRS) demonstrated that Black
and Hispanic veterans who served
in Vietnam experienced
significantly greater readjustment
problems and higher levels of post
traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
than White veterans.
To extend the study findings to
other minority veterans, initiated
a major project to assess the
readjustment experience of
American Indian, Japanese
American, and Native Hawaiian
veterans of the Vietnam war. This
resulted in Public Law 101-507,
which directed the VA's National
Center for PTSD to conduct what
became known as the Matsunaga
Vietnam Veterans Project.
The Matsunaga Project
involved two parallel studies, The
American Indian Vietnam
Veterans Project surveyed a
sample of Vietnam in-country
veterans residing on or near two
large tribal reservations, one in
the Southwest and the other in the
Northern Plains, with sufficient
numbers of Vietnam military
veterans to draw scientifically and
culturally sound conclusions about
war and readjustment experiences.
The Hawaii Vietnam Veterans
Project surveyed two samples, one

indigenous peoples of the
Hawaiian Islands, who comprise

American Indian Veterans'
Vietnam Experiences Before and
During the War.
"I was a happy healthy boy, and
I felt in harmony with my family,
my people, and the earth because
of the teachings my grandfather
shared in traditional ceremonies
and that my father shared when
we'd go fishing. I grew up in a
hurry when I enlisted in the
Marines after high school, and I
hated being looked down on as an
Indian I had to swallow the anger
and shame when they jokingly
called me Chief. Nothing prepared
me for the physical and spiritual
violation of war. I stayed for three
tours because I lived so much with
death that I couldn't come home."
Before Military Service
American Indian veterans
described growing up in a
supportive tribal community, on
or off reservation, in which they
felt securely included in their
extended families and close to their
parents. They rarely recalled
physical abuse, less so than any
other ethnocultural group except
Japanese Americans. They and
their families were very involved
in traditional activities such as
tribal gatherings and ceremonies,
and they learned to trust and honor
traditional values.
These men often attended and
completed school, and were
actively involved with their peep
group and in organized activities
such as athletics.
Disciplinary or legal problems
were rare. However, many
experienced the stressor of adult
members of their families who
suffered from substance abuse or
post traumatic stress disorder
(PTSD).
Entering Military Service
American Indian veterans often
join the military as a way to obtain
opportunities for education, jobs,
and travel not otherwise available
to them.
Many wanted to become

warriors to protect their family , to
uphold the honor of their tribe,
and to prove themselves as men
as well as to serve their country.
Military training was a shocking
new experience with good and
bad aspects. For the good , many
found the discipline, skills, and
team spirit an invaluable
preparation both for war and later
adulthood.
Conversly; many felt torn
between traditional spiritual and
community values and the
military emphasis on aggression
and killing. Many faced racial
prejudice and discrimination,
often for the first time up close
and personal, and felt
disillusioned when they or other
Indians encountered racial
hostility or disrespect.
More than one in two American
Indian veterans experienced war
related trauma in Vietnam. The
war traumas included being on
frequent or prolonged combat
missions in enemy territory,
encountering ambushes and
firefighters, being attacked by
sappers, snipers, artillery, or
rockets, witnessing death and
terrible harm to their own or
others' bodies, being under fire
on helicopters, cargo and
reconnaissance aircraft, patrol
boats, and cargo trucks, and very
hazardous duty such as walking
point, radio operator, medic,
scout, tunnel rat, perimeter sentry,
long range patrol, or door gunner.
American Indians so often
faced war trauma for many
reasons, including because they
were more likely than any other
ethnocultrual group to serve in the
Marines (the branch of service with
most combat duty) and in the
northernmost sector of Vietnam (I
corps, the area under greatest enemy
attack).
American Indians and Native
Hawaiians received combat service
medals more often than other groups.
