So I volunteered to show a movie at a Vietnamese refugee camp. It was me at the wheel, SgtMaj Tokifuji the "copilot incharge."
A platoon of vietnamese soldiers guarded the outdoor theater. A number of bedsheets had been sewn together and served as a screen. I had set up the projector atop the jeepster upper deck. It was past dusk. The projector had a safety light for the operator in case of mechanical problems
The audience consisted of nearly one hundred villagers and around 30 soldiers.
Then the shooting started. I felt the heat trail on my cheek. I looked around. Mass panic as both civilians and military personnel scattered into the night. What happened next? Well I'm still here
That vehicle also served quite well as a stepladder. I had been a pole lineman prior to arriving in VietnamThe OFFICE
