In Response To: Re: King - Re: Fireworks (Rodney O'Dell)

Hey, always respond to regulars here. Never saw "Deer Hunter". "Apocalypse" out a long time before watched it. Actually lived some of that.

What this Capt experienced is most often not the BS college professors (who were never in-country) teach kids today. For that matter current history books teach the war from PC glasses. It wasn't that way. If you get chance watch movie "We were soldiers". On cable TV a lot. Closer to the truth.

Try not to think about the war but frequently get questions. Was interviewed one time on film. Broke down midway. Funny, no dreams, just lots of flashbacks while awake.

Towards end of tour, bad time worryin bout makin it out. Drugs everywhere among enlisted. Only trustworthy were senior non-coms and warrants.

Always thank vets for serving. Esp. the old timers. Not enuf of that done. We owe them a lot of the freedom we have today.

Hope that answers a bit of your questions.
