@HD, how did you feel about serving in the continental US during the Vietnam War? Did you want to go?
The Vietnam war was very controversial. I was drafted into the Army and no I didn't want to go to that war. Many off my classmates and friends either came back in a box, without a leg or mentally wrecked. After basic I was shipped without leave to the arm pit of the Army..TigerLand jungle training at Ft. Puke, Louseyiana. Drill Sgt School stabilized me in the states for the rest of my tour since I was training troops. I looked at it this way..I was instructing trainees on how to save their buddy in battle and themselves since most where drafted too but on their way to combat.
