Probably one of the few DRAFTED for Viet Nam that will answer this or can that lived through the time. Drafted prior to the lottery, and spent 13 months in Nam in 66 & 67. (stayed an extra month to get out of the army 3 months early) In the 100th eng co which was a float bridge co as well as other bridge repair. Spent most months running convoy to all parts of the place bringing supplies over land, as our trucks where large. Also spent 3 months TDY with an infantry platoon doing river patrol and setting up for night ambush in the delta, as we also had boats of which I was an operator. The only benefit I can say I gained from the experience was learning at a very young age how short life really is, and to enjoy every minute of every day your alive. As well as don't take life to seriously as you won't get out of it alive any way!!! If only coming home we could have been treated half as good as those coming home from China will be. Looking back, the harassment after coming home was almost as bad as being there. Amazing how the news media controls our lives isn't it. Thank god for the forgiveness of a good tractor.
