I had a lot of fun blasting the enemy to smithereens in Nam with 5" precision naval gunfire.
The military has a fair share of generals unable to function
in a war zone. I would say that finding a man that knows what his mission is refreshes some of us that knew generals
that were overwhelmed with 100% participation in the United Way campaign and not much else..............
At Duc Pho (if I recall, Operation Desoto) we lowered the barrels of our artillery pieces, aiming right at the tree line. We had lost 7 Marines to mortars and had gooks in the wire. In the morning we all got to see what flechette rounds can really do. All we saw, (and unfortunately had to pick up for disposal) were arms and legs and heads and shoes.
