229th hélicopter assaut, 1st air cava 1968 - 1970 - Viet Nam

turne d'un jeune de 20 ans vers 1970 ... et on nous dit qu'en 2020 c'est dur d'avoir 20 ans, chez soi, frigo plein, eau courante, télé, internet pour montrer son kiki et s'insurger

oui, il semble que c'était cool d'eavoir 20 ans en 1970 en Aise du Sud Est ... :/

For me, the worst part of the Vietnam war wasn’t the heat, the leeches, no toilet paper, the bad chow, or the constant VC ambushes; It was the song “paint it black” being played non-stop day & night!
I was a shotgun rider, the man in the doorway on a Huey in Vietnam. Me, my crew chief & the peter pilot used to sing “Fortunate Son” by CCR while loading our weapons before lifting off on a mission. You were alert all the time, if you were not alert, you were going to die. Sometimes the deck was slick with blood or worse, we would land in a shallow river to wash it out. This really freaked out the FNG/Cherries we were transporting to their LZ. My crew chief said he saw one cherry pissing his new crisp starched fatigues. Ha! I know all soldier’s start out as cherries, but it’s fun when you’re not one anymore. Do you read me?
