You may be a Viet Nam vet if the Huey is always a part of the sound track of your youth.
You may be a Viet Nam vet if the sight of someone stirring the burning contents of a cut down 55 gal drum with a stick and it still triggers a gag reflex.
You may a Viet Nam vet if you know the Re-Up bird and the F You lizard really exist.
You might be a Viet Nam vet if You know that the HP Steam Bath is in Bangkok
You might be a Viet Nam vet if you know what the " Pink Book" was who used it and what is was for....
You might be a Viet Nam vet if you burned all your personal mail after reading
You might be a Viet Nam vet if when you walked into an airport bar on your way home and the bartender refused to sell you a beer because you were too young, and then asked if you knew where he could get some of that " Nam dope, you know, the good shit man!

....If you cringe a little everytime someone says, "Thank you for your service" because you remember how badly you were treated when you came home...

That's an ok comment...I hate 'welcome home brother' by some guy that looks like he lives under a bridge.
Like I've been lost somewhere waiting for his high sign....I've been home for a damn long time.
Gives me the heebie jeebies.

Nice...ergo the US Claymore name as it would 'cut a swath' when used as the Scots claymore (normally used for cutting the fore legs off of knights horses ).
