Over 50,000 American service members deserted the military during the Vietnam War. They left for many reasons, moral issues with the war, frustration with how the US government was handling it, fear of injury and death. No matter what their reason, the decision wasn't made lightly since the punishment for desertion in the United States is time in a military prison and in extreme circumstances... execution. Find out why and how a US service member leaves their unit and goes AWOL during the Vietnam War in this all new episode of I Am. This video is inspired by true real life events.
