Lets call it, "in the bush versus, not in the bush"! Thats where most lives were lost. Many Naval personnel lost thier lives in the Delta. We all were reminded daily by the Vietcong of their presence by the 122 mm rocket fire into our bases. No one was really safe, but the Air Force ground folks suffered fewest losses. Productive? Yes.......but, my goal was just to survive, get out and finish college. The G.I. bill was great but the homecoming was horrible! Any association with the war made you an outcast back then, because the generations mantra was, "make love not war" and I was branded despite my non-combat job a 'village burner", child killer" and "war monger". It was tough for us all to regain our footing on return yet I understood my peers and their dislike for the war. Afterall, what did it proove? what did we gain? and look what we lost. Those questions seem to be alive and well today as we contemplate our actions in the middle east.
