I volunteered one week before TET happened. Left for basic 3/1/68 and spent 14 months in country. 1st Cav 2/7 C company 2nd platoon. I went in at 18, I came out and felt like I was 50. Not a day goes by you don’t think about it. 74 now and it’s always here. War is terrible. There’s absolutely nothing good about it. And you’re scared every frigen day. You get used to it, but the nerves and being scared never goes away. Anyone who’s been in combat and says they weren’t scared is either a liar or just an idiot. I’d never want to see anyone go through that shit. Ever
I’m a teenager who wants to join my country’s navy and go into the warfare branch, but the weapons I hope to have the privilege of using I never wish to see being used in aggression on another nation unless it is a case of maintaining international security or in defence of an aggressor. Love the stories being told in this comment section ❤
Have no mercy on any nation that does not respect your country, women, and religion. Just an advice. I hope you join navy just like you want. Just remember that having prejudices against certain nations is not a bad thing.
I was in vietnam for 3 years, when I arived In vietnam I was only 17 years old, they would not draft anyone under 18 years old, but you could enlist if you had your parents sign a waver for you giving there approval, and my mom did just that, I did not have a dad, my paents were divorced. I went thru the tet offensie, and that was nasty, when I finally got home from vietnam, I expected a warm reception from people, instead I gut cussed at F bomds, and I got hit with an egg in the face, the only reason I am telling you all of this is becaue, I want people to know that we did not start that war, the polititions did, so if must blame some one, blame the polititions in Washingto DC
L'époque des héros maintenant on appuis sur un bouton pour tuer des insurgés il faut reconnaître que les américains aiment la guerre mais sont incapable de gagner
They could at least put the camera on KEITH as he was doing is solo. I know is not as technical as MICK TAYLORS but is still cool as shite. Also wrote and played 2 and 3 note themes that were better than any great solo!!
I really don't get why people say thank you to vets who went to fight wars that had nothing to do with the defense of the country. Most of these wars were to protect corporate interests for the wealthy elite.
