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. lolVery vivid imagery there, and an interesting read jj thanks!
Vent away bro you earned that rightUntil a few years ago I never talked about Vietnam, it was too painful.

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).I volunteered.........
That was worth the 3:30 it took to watch. Gotta get me one of those lids Billy was wearing. SWEET !!!!
Sorry to hear that brother....no, I don't believe I knew Ron, but he is missed.....Did you know a guy named Ron Fitzgerald? He died in Cambodia. Classmate.
