    After struggling to maintain grades at his university, Andrew Wilson made the decision to leave college and join the United States Army in search of purpose and direction. After completing his aptitude tests Wilson learned he qualified for OCS and thus began his path on becoming an Army Officer.
    After completing Ranger School, Wilson yearned for combat and volunteered to go to Vietnam. After arriving in country Wilson was attached to the 1st Infantry Division and would begin learning firsthand what it took to lead soldiers in combat.

    Guy is as cool as a cucumber, clear as glass, and easy as Sunday morning.
    Makes you proud to be from the same country as men like that. My Dad was 5th Battalion 7th Air Cav, '69-'71. He would have really liked this guy a lot.
    Just great . . . from a fellow Catholic schoolboy.

    That's why you didn't start darting across a field in Vietnam in a big hurry without hyper situational awareness. Unfortunately there aren't many chances to practice not doing that under combat conditions.

    The US troops had a bad habit of walking into clearings en masse . The enemy always had ambushes planned and the US lost dozens of men each time. Sometimes more

    That's a real man. But how does he identify? A woman? No a man. I live in Scranton Pennsylvania and we have the first woman. Not identifying as a woman, a woman killed in Vietnam. The Gino Merlio hospital. Bronz statue of this woman

    I Fast Water and Herb Teas and practice Qigong. I was able to stop the night terrors. I used to get horrible nightmares every time I slept, guaranteed.
