16. My brother

Feb 2013

My brother did 2 tours in Vietnam. He was home for R & R between tours and he had several stories of Vietnamese villagers helping soldiers find their way when they became lost in the jungle, which I guess was pretty common (getting lost). He re-upped after one such incident ultimately cost those villagers their lives. He died in Binh Long Province in June of 1969. I hate war, I hate the MIC and I hate all of the lying bullshit re: Iraq. But I can't say with certainty I think Powell is dirty....
