    I enlisted in the USAF 2 months after graduating HS in 1971. CCR, Rolling Stones, BS&T, Iron Butterfly, Steppenwolf....that was music! I volunteered for SEA but the USAF had other plans for me. I salute the warriors who fought, suffered and died in that miserable country. On the ground, in the air or at sea, you were asked to do the impossible (against all odds) and treated like $h!t when you came home (carrying visible and INVISIBLE scars that no one knows about). I remember standing in front of the TV and crying as our POW's came home. I am proud of my 10+ years of military service but most proud of the brotherhood of military men and women I have been honored to be a part of. I have been fortunate to see both the "Traveling VV Wall x2" and the Original at the Mall in D.C. A trip to Arlington once and witness the Changing of the Guard did something to me that can never be undone. Freedom is PRECIOUS and it is FRAGILE. President Ronaldus Magnus said it best, "Freedom is only one (1) generation from extinction..." Greater love hath no man.....

    1968, 5 months after graduating from high school, I enlisted in the USAF 30 December, with the hopes of becoming an aircraft mechanic. Eleven months later , this aircraft mech stepped off the plane in Bien Hoa, Vietnam. These were the songs I listened to while working 12 hours a day, most times with no nights off launching, recovering and fixing our aircraft. then tried to sleep during the day. These songs and many more like them was my lifeline.

    It is unfortunate that one of the most popular songs played during Vietnam was Fortunate Son. It was about a young man who didn't have any connections to get out of serving. It was a war where the sons of the rich, important , and well-connected didn't have to for the most part serve. The young men who served in Vietnam were primarily from the lower middle class, the lower-class whites, blacks, and Latinos, and the boys from the rural small towns and farms.

    Hey!
    You forgot WE GOTTA GET OUT OF THIS PLACE by Eric Burdon & the Animals... 😳
    When I was in-country from 1970 - 1971 it was by far the most popular song amongst the G.I.s.
    It was played by Filipino cover bands in every EM club on a nightly basis (at least once) from the Delta to the DMZ.
    Also the most requested song on AFVN Radio.
    If one song came to represent the war in Vietnam, WE GOTTA GET OUT OF THIS PLACE is definitely it.
    I still play it about once or twice a week just to remind myself how lucky I am to have come home in one piece - so many others were not as fortunate.
    My good friend, Jon Holden, who served in the 101st Airborne, was one of them.
    Jon didn't die in the war, but it killed him just the same.
    RIP Jon
    Airborne Ranger

To this day my dad still can't sleep past 0430-0500 hrs. He can go to bed at 0200 and is still feet on the deck at that hour. He says that's from boot camp. Many, many, many stories of boot camp but the on he likes to always point out was never address the senior DI as "you"...a female sheep (ewe) for there is an ass beating to come even on the last night being at MCRD. As much as my dad had a love-hate relationship with the Marines it transformed him from a knucklehead to a retired MSgt. He still says Vietnam was his best (and worst) times in the Marines.

    Thank God I never had too Choose wether or Not, we should of been There? IT like Korea was a Police Action apparently. As for the Vietnamese People? I Fully understand that they were always Stuck in the Middle of Two, Global Controlling Ideologies, at that Time. Trying too determine Thier Future. Wether it was the Eastern Power Communist Bloc. Countries, or the Western Democracies? Neither of them should of gotten involved, as much as they Did.
    With Thier involvement, that Conflict drug on for a Quarter of a Century. Before it was Finally. Ended by the North. This I am thinking 🤔🤔 is how it should of been from the Very Beginning 😌🙂😃.
    The most Tragic thing about it was? The Human Suffering, & the Loss of so Many people, from all Parties involved. The Wound's finally seem to be Disappearing now after so Many Year's later. May we always Remember the Fallen, & the Maimed for what they Did & Gave, of themselves Over there, so long Ago. May God Bless US All, Now and in The Future. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

      Politicians did not seem to want the USA to try to 'Win the War', some seemed to want the War to keep going to buy War Company Stocks cheap (Tell the World that the War was close to an end, stocks in Military Manufacturing Companies would drop in price). They would buy stocks, then get the war going again, stocks would then jump up as more bombs and weapons would need to be made. War kept going as weapons were wasted, also 'Hills' captured after a few days of fighting were often abandoned the next day, just to let the enemy just take the 'Hill' over again. Then the USA would take the 'Hill' over again instead of keeping the 'Hill' and pushing the Front all the way back to Hanoi, (and taking over the Country).

      That’s because of the “war of attrition” strategy being employed. Taking and holding territory was thought to be undesirable by the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. Instead, killing as many Vietnam Cong, and especially North Vietnamese regular army soldiers was the goal. STUPID battle philosophy if you gave a rat’s behind for the morale of your own troops fighting in a guerrilla-style war. Official estimates of the average age of North Vietnamese troops being deployed into South Vietnam at the time of the US withdrawal was 16yo. Not counting the Chinese and Russian “advisers”.

      Taxes have driven so many in the business sector…out of state.
      Oh and then there is the water crisis, where agriculture receives the lion’s share and that is that.
      So no dreamers want to move to California anymore and it is all about Californication.
