I met a "shake and bake" NCO at my first duty station who received a battlefield commission while in Vietnam. He was back stateside to go to "Couth School" so he could be a better officer and gentleman. He was originally drafted. This was in early 1968. I was in Vietnam from Oct 68 to May 69 in a fairly safe job.
Audio is off , can you get the next ones where you can hear the interviewer asking the questions?
Teaching was a needed profession and was deferred from the draft. I graduated in 67 from college as well. All the male teaches I new were deferred. I was science and math.
Welcome home all I have to say they don’t welcome me home but that’s OK. Thank you for serving. Sucks.
Cannot hear the questions, bad audio.
Orange was an ecological disaster for plants and animals.
To all US Vietnam Vet. You should blame that on your parents and grandparents and all those fellow Americans of yours for voting for Democrats President Truman, JF Kennedy, and LB Johnson as United States commander in Chief. Because they were one who brought communist to Vietnam and started the Vietnam War. US Democracts President Truman was the 1st US President who got Americans involve in Vietnam when he sent the 1st US MAAG to assist the French to recolonize Vietnam in 1950 after he reject Ho Chi Minh letter of support for Vietnam independence from France. Then US Democrats President JF Kennedy stage a military coup on South Vietnam President, Ngo Dinh Diem giving America power to start a War and to do what ever they wish to Vietnam and its Vietnamese peoples. And appoint an ex-Vietminh soldiers, Nguyen Van Thieu as their puppet President of South Vietnam to replace Ngo Dinh Diem after the military coup assination on Nov. 2, 1963. The following year on August 4, 1964. US Democrats President LB Johnson announce to the American peoples about the Gulf of Tonkin incident. Where a US Destroyer Maddox was patroiling at sea past the 17th parallel DMZ near the capital of communist North Vietnam, Hanoi. That even today that it didn't happen according to John White a nuclear weapon officier on the US Destroyer Maddox. Without the South Vietnamese President declare military action or War on North Vietnam. US Democrats President LB Johnson push for military action against North Vietnam which lead to the start of the Vietnam War. American peoples did this to Vietnam and all the 58,000 US troops killed during the Vietnam by electing these Truman, JF Kennedy and LB Johnson as their US Commaner in Chief. America brought War, death, and pain to the Vietnamese peoples of Vietnam. 3,000,000 innocents Vietnamese civilian had to die in their own country. While 10s of thousands Vietnamese die at sea of hunger, thirst, illness, and Thai pirates fleeing out of Vietnam as refugee. All those US President were all US War Veteran.
Thank you sir for your service to our country.
