Your questions look good, and I'm not a Vietnam vet, but a word of advice, if this isn't for a gen ed class, like if you're a history major, you better clear this by your professor. Interviewing over the internet is a no-no, just ask Turabian, it doesn't even tell you how to cite that. anyone can come in here and make stuff up is why. Good luck with your project. If you're a gen ed, still ask your professor but I doubt it'd matter as much.
