Roger that. My best friend was a year ahead of me in high school. He was drafted into the marines after he graduated. He was killed in Hue during 68 Tet.

I went to the army recruiter and told him to assign me where I can kill a lot of Vietnamese. He told me armor.

I would have a .45 cal pistol, a grease gun, a grenade launcher, main gun, a .50 cal, a 60 coaxe machine gun. I did not know I would have claymore mines at that time.

My friend rests in peace.

Thanks to both of you for your service. One of my missions today is to go have a word with a local film crew who was rude to a Vietnam vet at our local senior center. I hope that a brief history lesson about why we Americans are free will suffice...
