Songs and jokes helped us to be 'desensitized' to the killing and carnage.
It was far easier to destroy the enemy if the need to do so was inculcated into each soldier during training and continuing in combat.

Soldiers often use humor as a coping mechanism to deal with the stress and trauma of war. Telling jokes about the Vietnam War and killing may have helped them to lighten the mood and momentarily escape from the harsh reality of their experiences. It is important to recognize that jokes can serve as a way to process and normalize their experiences, rather than as a reflection of callousness or lack of empathy.
