1969 was the height of the Vietnam war. Some of us were fortunate; we weren't deployed to a war that was unjustified, not winnable and morally wrong. Hadn't it been for the pall the war cast on everyone, we were like a peacetime army but there was always a dark shadow looming over our morale and the possibility our unit would be deployed to Vietnam. But these were interesting times for a young man, a learning experience about people and how an incredibly huge organization operates, efficiently as well as inefficiently.
