When I was in Vietnam the 2nd time in the Army was the only time I was out in the actual country, but still even that was in the air, and late in the war 70-71.
But from my impression, and my older brother who there as a advisor in 63, the 173rd AirBn. in 67, 69 and 71 with I don't recall, we had our head where the sun doesn't shine..
I would often think if someone else come to my country and conducted themselves the way we did in Vietnam, whose side would I be on ?.
