Viet Nam: A Bad Trip (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798635455180)

An Air Force brat and his siblings grew up in the 50s and 60s under the watchful eye of a strict father, an Air Force Colonel. With an ongoing Cold War, the Red Menace, and war in Viet Nam, we brats only cared about going to the local swim club. But then along came the draft of 1969 that forced an extremely reluctant, long-haired young man into the Army to learn artillery. After training, he spent 397 days in Viet Nam at remote Fire Support Bases along the Cambodian border. Not a book of "war stories", this book describes the chaotic 1960s, and what everyday life was like in Viet Nam, changing from boredom in harsh conditions, to heartfelt tragedies, plus a lot of humor. It also attempts to set the record straight on the true end of the American ground war, and the shameful conditions under which it occurred.
