Ahhhhhhhhhh, it brings back fond recollections of awakening most mornings with the smell of shit and JP4 burning together in the halved 55 gallon oil drum strategically placed near the headcounts table, wafting into the air, just behind the mess hall. Get a nice greasy ladle of that hot SOS tossed onto those dried C-Rat crackers, gulping it down with todays flavor of jungle juice before you hookup with that dumb as dogpuke pvt from Montana who is riding shotgun in the patrol jeep today. Dumbass actually believes the "QC" on the dinks black plastic helmet liner actually stands for Queer Chink. Jeeese ohhh the memories... Not a bad story from a "REMF"'s perspective. Though the infamous "LBJ" would have been better material than Abu Girab ever was. After all, the 18th Brigade in the Nam abused the crap out of GI inmates at LBJ much more than snappin a few pics of the enemy holding their nuts the current crop of MP's in Iraq got in trouble about. But all in all not bad. Not great mind you(it certainly wasn't war and peace), but palatable as well as a tad reminiscent. But I just don't see todays equivalant of Robert Duval making remarks about the smell of burning shit in the morning, when this gravy train imbiber splashes its pointy little head up on the big screen. but then thats Hollywood, and thats another story. actually though, it might get a more realistic treatment in Bollywood! Can you imagine that?

I agree with you on this subject and it is part of the reason why I am writing I'm No Stranger To The Rain. My brother returned from Korea in the fifties but was killed by a drunk driver. Forever 21 and I have seen first hand how many of these drunks get away with murder. Keep up the good work.

Excellent story, John! Captures the hell of war and the uncertainty of whether the people will make it back to the states alive! (((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :(
