Dogtags from the ceiling is just a visual aid to make the millions of Americans who know jack shit about the war in Vietnam, grasp the size of the tragedy. They're not going to help the vets already screwed up, but could help prevent adding to their ranks.
It's been almost 50 years and it could easily happen again. There's a couple of generations who don't know the cost of these follies. Since the draft ended wars are on the evening news like it's a sporting event someone else is playing. People are disconnected from what is going on in their name.
