Enjoyed your post. In 1969, I looked over a sea of smiling 7th graders, bouncing off the wall and such.

"Self", I says to meself, "the Viet Cong can't be this bad".

I shortly thereafter took a 2 year enlistment in Uncle Sam's Mean Green Machine. Never went back. It's not as easy as it looks.

There is a movie in your post:

In 1969, I.W. reported for duty. . .

(show a sea of smiling 7th graders, bouncing off the walls)

"Self," I said to meself, "the Viet Cong can't be this bad." (Cue music, chopper blades whirring, fade to rice paddy image. . .)

And then you go from there. Just remember, when you write your screenplay, to copywrite it and join the writers' union before you send it to the studios. The entertainment biz -- another industry where the union is king.

Too funny!

But you're right, it's not as easy as it looks -- or at least, it wasn't for me.
