What does in country Vietnam vet mean?

[@robertbrink2240]

@@paleo704 It means being physically in the country of Vietnam as opposed to being in a combat zone outside the country. For example the 7th fleet operating in the gulf of Tonkin.

I was there at the time. In the same fight that he’s describing on 21 September. All the same. I feel the same about the September 21 fight and how we fucked up. I shouldn’t say-we fucked up people that organized this battle fucked up in Dong Ha 3rd marine division. One was Robert McFarlane later national security advisor for Reagan. He was artillery officer at Dong Ha. I visited Captain Taylor cremated remains in Quantico national Cemetery just recently. I think he was C/O of echo when I was there. I think I remember Jack I did not know him. He was older. Jack do you remember operation elephant shit? Like I said I did not know him. Because I was new. I came to camp Evan’s just before moving north to Con Thien. Another bad fight 14 October. Echo did not get the worst. We could hear the North Vietnamese torturing Marines they over run.

The screeching sound at the beginning and end of the video do nothing to enhance the story, and is quite annoying. Thank you for the history. I was in the Corps and my brother was in Golf Co., and would not return home.

God bless this man and the Marines who served with him. I don't blame him for being upset at having to leave his KIA'd comrades in the battlefield for 2 whole weeks. That's disgusting and inexcusable. No doubt that inexcusable blunder can be chalked up to command level officers.

[@Charles-z1l]

We went into this fight without artillery support reconning by fire. We had none since we first made contact at 0700. Later in the day we had some fixed wing support. I was saved because I had to guard Med Evacs. The fighting was so very heavy and deadly we could not evacuate our dead.the fight ended at sunset
