Danny speaks with Clayton Kozan, a graduate student at Texas Tech University who analyzes how the Vietnam War is portrayed in video games. From 1980s-era games that have you playing as a lone wolf; to Call of Duty: Black Ops, which makes the Vietnam War about Nazis (??) and Soviets; to the more recent When I Was Young, which focuses not only on combat but the social experience of being a soldier, Danny and Clayton discuss how and why video games' portrayal of Vietnam changed over time.
