I was Navy and I thought I had it tough... until I learned what you combat vets experienced. Don't know if I had the metal to face death like all of you young men. Many thanks for serving.
John, thank you for that insightful interview. I was and my team mates were honored to be supported by the 11th ACR. Before your time, Feb 69, I was assigned to USARV Hqs at Long Binh. I was on the reaction force. We were attacked in late Feb and your unit along with others came to our defense. It is the only time I ever got to fire my M14 while there. Your guys were heroic. I was on bunker guard several times while there and the 11th would do the mad minute way off to the South of the post. It was amazing to watch. You and your men were heroes to us! Welcome home brother and may God bless you and your family.
I was disgusted the way the war protesters treated you men who returned from Vietnam, and the way ww2 vets treated you at the VFW was just as disgusting, well come home from a nasty war, the political scum sent you to war and tied your hands with STUPID rules of engagement.You are heroes in my mine even though I was only 10 in 1973. Also they should have known about the vast tunnel systems!!!
Like many combat vets we had few friends there. He's the real deal. Thank you for your service.

nice one..
Great interviewer. However, it would be nice if the interviewer stopped coughing in the mic
The Vietnamese were not a threat to us at all. No one should have gone to fight this. Our soldiers should have refused.
We were honoring an alliance and were politically misled.
Blame Lyndon Johnson and politicians like him not the soilders
