In a well-executed ambush at 2100 hours on 3 November 1969, the rifle platoons of the 1st Division, 9th Infantry drew enemy blood. US soldiers in one of several ambush positions located just north of the Chu Pong Mountain sighted a heavily laden North Vietnamese Army unit, estimated at company strength, moving along an east-west trail. Deciding to take a break just one hundred meters short of the ambush site, the enemy column loitered outside the killing zone for ninety minutes, while the soldiers waited quietly in ambush. At 2100 hours the enemy unit moved noisily along the trail. The first element was allowed to pass, and then the trap was sprung with eight claymores along a 100-meter zone. The attack was perfectly executed and the enemy's weapons platoon with machine guns, mortars, and recoilless rifles was caught in a wall of lead as soldiers fired continuously for two minutes......There was no return fire.

Until a few years ago I never talked about Vietnam, it was too painful. When I returned, being a Vietnam vet wasn't cool, so I internalized everything, tried to ignore it, forget it. Eventually that wasn't working any longer, I started having nightmares again. So, recently (in therapy) I found out it was better to vent it out & talk about what happened & how it effected me, so I'm trying that approach now. Seems to be helping.....that and some good pot. lol
Sorry guy's, every once in a while I have a memory of something that I just have to try to vent. I know it doesn't really belong here, but this is where I spend quite a bit of time. I'll try to keep it to a minimum.....There's some stuff I just wouldn't write here.
Like we used to say in the Army "Home is where you dig it"....and damn it, I dig it here!...thanks

It belongs anywhere you choose to put it. My Dad was a Marine in WW2. Guadlcanal was his first taste, but more followed. He was proud of his service. His unit was featured in HBO's "The Pacific". That said, When I was 15, in 1965, he took me aside, and told me NOT to enlist. He went on to express his feelings about wars of aggression and money. I was nearly drafted anyway, but Tricky Dick's lottery came to the rescue. Anyway, he felt the soldiers who went to 'nam were victims. I agree. Now we have THREE generations of damaged people.Until a few years ago I never talked about Vietnam, it was too painful.

A lot of guys did. How many 18 year olds understand what war is? Had my Dad not expressed his thoughts and fears, I might have.(I was actually ready to join the Air Force at the time of the lottery when the lottery was announced. I'd taken my physical and entrance exams. They wanted to teach me Russian and translate military traffic. My cousin did that in Alaska).

If you've never watched the TV series "Bones" Billy has a part in the later seasons. He wears that lid and a few others like it.
