This Is The Report Of An American Paratrooper Infantry Boots On The Ground In Viet Nam In The Mid 1960S. It Is Not A Romanticized Sanitized Fantasized Hollywood Version Of Ground Combat. It Is A Description Of Life On The Ground For Your Military Grandfathers Fathers Uncles And Brothers. When They Returned From Viet Nam This Is Not What They Talked About. It Was Too Painful Too Raw Too Uncivilized And Too Inhuman. The Accumulated Fear And Pain Of A Full Years Tour Of Duty Was Over-Whelming Physically And As Modern Research Shows Psychically. They Didn'T Want To Talk About It They Didn'T Want To Think About It . This Is A Description Of What They Endured. Your Grandfathers Fathers Sons Uncles And Friends Were Pushed Beyond Any Reasonable Limits Of Human Physical And Mental Endurance And It Ultimately Had A Lifelong Bad Effect On Their Bodies And Mind. They Were Called By Their Country As Volunteers Or As Draftees To Be On The Front Lines In A War Of Ideas In The Middle Of Political Debates Wherein The Good Citizens Had No Idea Of What Was Required Of Their Young Citizens And Their Families. This Is My Story But It Is Also The Story Of Thousands Of Young Citizens Who Answered Their Country'S Call. May God Bless Every One Of You And Your Families Who Suffered Along With You. All The Way.
