My Dad served four years in Vietnam, three tours. One training pilots to fight and attack ground positions, one as a front line cargo delivery pilot (think bringing fresh ammo and food to troops on tiny dirt air strips hacked out of the jungle during the Linebacker 2 push), and lastly as a gunship pilot. He got a chance to go back to Vietnam about six months ago and was incredibly impressed with the country, they progress they'd made, and how much mutual respect he found with people of his approximate age.

Everybody's experience was different  ...  combat/non-combat  ...  home/the theater  ....    but they are all part of the fabric.    Thus far, Novick and Burns have done a great job of weaving those stories.

I've gotten too far off track.   Time to go back to bein' a smartass in the GDT.    :)
