[HTML][Kristoferson was a Rhodes Schlolar. His father was a Gen. He was an Army chopper pilot in Germany. He got out. /HTML]

Kristofferson volunteered for VN twice and was denied both times, being assigned to be an instructor at West Point instead....that's when he opted to get out.

I had always heard Sadler was on a C Team in VN and stepped on a pungy stake and the wound got infected and that was why he was returned to the US. I still have the 45 of that song...never bought his album, though!
