Republic of Viet Nam, flight engineer of CH-47 helicopter on mission to recover shot-down Huey gunship. Took a burst through the Aft Main Transmission and went down. 6 and 1/2 hours later in firefight while rescue came and got me and the rest of the crew. Company was having our wake when we got back because they had been told we went down no survivors. Yeah, I can’t believe I did that. I have utmost respect for all the current military who have to labor under the purvey of the marxist...God Bless America anyway.
LOL...I feel completely silly after reading some of these stories, but...I guess you can get yourself killed just as dead being a stupid, careless or unlucky civilian as you can being in a military helicopter spiraling towards a hostile LZ.
Thanks for your service, FRiend. Glad you made it...:)
Vietnam. Too many times....
