I bought the book a month ago when dad died. had to stand in the aisle at books-a-million right next the "Hot gay cops" books and other shxt of that nature. it was kind of insulting that the military history section was right in with the social science section dealing with homosexuality. Pops was at ccn or tf1ae in '71. always heard the stories but never listened. books like this one, well written and descriptive, help people who don't know (like me) see past the media and hoopla about the vietnam victim and see the real vietnam veterans. Everybody wants to be a green beret. my dad was one.
