[@AfrewSpines]

That’s because killing likely isn’t the worst thing he’s done. I used to go to church with a lot of old war veterans and at a memorial service one of them, very bitterly, flat out told the crowd “If you ever knew about the things we did, how we really were, you’d never talk to us ever again”, and I never forgot it. Every single time I’d ever seen this guy he had an amazing attitude, was very upbeat and friendly, but this time… His face was nothing but frustrated pain, you could just see how angry he was not just with himself and the things he had done, but with how nobody would ever really get it, nobody but other vets.

They were the bravest of the brave people I have ever know. One night in May of 68 they were trapped on an old LZ, LZ Stella, in the A Shau Valley. They were completely surround by NVA forces and I was on the radio with them. You could hear the fire fight and the NVA clanging bamboo together trying to unnerve them. The next morning I woke up and they were in the tent sleeping. I spent 6 months with the 1st Air Cavalry Division Camp Evans 1968. I spent one year with the lst Engineer Battalion 1st Infantry Division down south La Khe. I was on the Tunnel Rat team working for S-2 and aslo Recon Team.

I've owned M1's and M14's and for years when I used to tell people that even though the M1 only has 8 rounds compared to the 20 round mag in an M14 they at least even out because of how fast you can reload an M1 they'd look at me like I was crazy.
