......I was a Squid with Lima, 3/3/3, in 1969 and then Captain C. Krulak was our CO. Our campany was "volunteered" for every crappy/high casualty mission!

SEMPER FI.......Doc Greek.....:flag:
That's what I was saying, Doc. Jack and I was in the 3/26. It was designated reserve Bn. for the whole 1st. Div. We were in on every damn operation that came down the pike. At the end of Dec.68 every one with 6 months or more in Country went afloat to rest for a week. Every one with less than 6, stayed in the bush. Things didn't slow down for the 3/26 till middle of Aug.69, when we got a slacker job of protecting the Nam O bridge. I was already gone then.
mornin..i just got an email from a bro that i was in Nam with...said theres a new book out called What its like to go to war....By Marlantes
Was written with PTSD and the Combat Marine a its underlying issue...it focusing on Vietnam vets....he said its one of the best reads hes seen in a long time...
just thought id throw that out here
****'em. I'm a Winger, and lived in splendor, and don't need no ****ing TV show to tell me what it was like.
Like a lot, I kept it all to myself for a long time. Forums like this, Marine Vets, and the yearly reunions I try to attend, make it all a bit easier.
If and when I wear a VietNam Veteran ball cap, unless she is big tittied and a good looker, I don't give a rats ass to listen to the others, UNLESS, they have BTDT. Most of them have a guilt complex and are asking for their own forgivness.
Like I say, '****'em'. A true Vet can pick out a true Vet, with no words spoken.
Amen ,Mongoose .I never saw any drug use in my tour in the Northern I Corps area either ,not one time ,but we were portrayed as drugged out crazies.I'm 63 and have never used Marijuana or drugs in my life,heck I don't smoke or drink ! I wonder how many hippies from the 60's can say that?
