Veterans Carry War Home | Australia News

Trevor Duniam, a Vietnam veteran, reveals how the true weight of war hit him not in Vietnam but back home in Tasmania—after hearing about his fallen friend Lex Adams, whose ambush death echoed the battlefield’s brutality. Duniam and fellow vet John Oldaker paint a harrowing picture: from the constant danger in Saigon to the crushing psychological toll of reintegration, where many veterans tragically took their own lives. Oldaker also laments how Australia’s role in the war is misunderstood, defending the original anti-communist mission while criticizing post-war political decisions that betrayed the sacrifices made. Their stories remind us that the scars of war run deep—and endure long after the guns fall silent. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
