    Since I was born in 1960, I wasn't a part of Viet Nam. However, I remember being able to spot a Viet Nam Vet Marine from 100 yards away when I first got in the fleet back in 1978. They just had a...

    If I'm remembering correctly, he mentioned being discharged in Japan? Sounds crazy, but I think that is what he said. Then he went to PI to open up a bar, but soon there after had to leave the county...

    It is a damn good book. I liked when one D.I. spoke about the need for intimidation on the drill field. Classic.

    Apparently in some Military units, uniformity & cohesion are not fundamentally important.
