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:

En "Ambush" y "Facing It", se muestra cómo la experiencia de la Guerra de Vietnam marca a quienes la vivieron. En "Ambush", el narrador lucha con la culpa y la memoria de haber matado a un soldado enemigo. En "Facing It", el poeta visita el Monumento a los Veteranos de Vietnam y se ve inundado de recuerdos y emociones. Ambos textos sugieren que la guerra no solo afecta a los veteranos en el campo de batalla, sino que también los sigue afectando en la vida cotidiana. La idea de que la guerra los cambia para siempre es un tema recurrente en ambos textos.

Answer:

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