War stories


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 Vietnam
