Airborne Ranger that spent three years in VN as a LRRP. Wounded 3 times.
Went in the Army in '67, medically retired, Then worked for the DOD until retired four years ago, as a GS15. The Command Engineer for Headquarters Air Force.
42 years of 'military' service.
'Scuse my stupidity, but what is a LRRP?
Thank you for your service. I have a buddy that got 2 purple hearts in VN and I love hearing his stories of Nam back in '65-'66. His name is Ron Marx, but he was a Corpsman assigned to the marines. My bro in law, who was in VN in '67 is coming for a visit tomorrow. He was also in the Army. James Covert is his name.

I gotcha. Well, good damn morning to everyone.
I recently watched the 10 episode series on Viet Nam by Ken Burns. They interviewed a team of LRRP who had an idiot for a superior officer. He would tell them to go out 5 miles ahead and they would just tell him "yessir", walk forward to a bunch of bushes, hide in them, and smoke pot all day. I guess when you didn't trust your commanding officer, these things happened. Then again, this happened at the end of the war, when everyone lost interest in winning.
I still get pissed that when our heroes came home, the hippies would call them all sorts of names. Damn, that frosts my ass.

I agree Mark, but I have a higher level of frustration with the upper levels of the service and the politicians who arm chaired the action. If we put our service men and women in harms way, let them do the job they were trained to do. Do it quick and get it over with. It was bullcrap how that whole deployment was handled. Looking at today's events, not much has changed.
