    Vietnam Combat Vets

    The combat you have seen and experienced . And the people that you have operated with.

    What stands out most in your mind going back in time.

    The sound of the Huey the smell of diesel and shit also the constant booming of 105's.

    My father served four tours,he always said the whoop whoop sound of the rotors of the Huey,and the report of an AK will never be forgotten.In fact these sounds haunt him still.

    The Huey,because it meant life.

    The AK,because it meant death.

    Thumbs down

    My brother served 2 tours...67-68...68-69....door gunner 1st Cav.

    He was never quite the same after he came back...had no patience with stupid people and lived off in the woods every place he lived after.

    Lost him 10 yrs ago to what we believe was Agent Orange induced cancer...but the Gov'ment said no....very sad.

    Myth:

    The fighting in Vietnam was not as intense as in World War II.
    The average infantryman in the South Pacific during World War II saw about 40 days of combat in four years. The average infantryman in Vietnam saw about 240 days of combat in one year thanks to the mobility of the helicopter.
    The sound of a Huey is the sound of Vietnam.


    Joe,
    The government lied.
