Question

what emotional truth is conveyed in both \ambush\ and \facing it\?
those who experienced or fought in the vietnam war are forever affected by it in some way.
denial of past experiences is often the best way in which to deal with them and move forward.
it is perplexing that not everyone is as affected by war as the veterans who fought in it.
one always experiences guilt and remorse after killing someone during a time of war.

Explanation:

In "Ambush," the narrator reflects on a war experience and its lingering impact. In "Facing It," the speaker confronts the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, showing the war's lasting hold. Both works suggest the war's enduring effect on those involved. Denial (second option) is not a theme. The third option about others' lack of impact isn't central. The fourth option's "always" is too absolute as not all focus on guilt/remorse.

Answer:

Those who experienced or fought in the Vietnam War are forever affected by it in some way.
