Back in '85 one of our Gunnies, truth be told, was prone to tall tales. Especially about Viet Nam.
One of his 'Honest to God' tales was about THE BLACK SYPH. His account was that there was a virulant strain of syphyllis that was incurable. Once contracted it you could not re-enter CONUS or any civilized country on the globe.
So they set up a BLACK SYPH colony in the midle of some major river. Even the NVA or VC would stay very far away from this island of death.
True or Tall Tale?
