BTW I heard the music. Excellent! I just don't go to Nam movies, it took me 5 years to get my act together after I got back.

I'm surprised it only took 5 years. Many of us were messed up for longer than that.

well there are those who claim I'm still NUTZ! LOL

I was fortunate to know several men like Lt. Rescota in the Special Forces. Mind you, I don't count myself in their class by any stretch of the imagination.

You must read the Grunt Padre, I highly recommend it - it's awesome.

the author, Fr Mode, is an Arlington priest and also a Navy Chaplain.

p.s. hope to see some FReepers at the March For Life on Monday....

I don't watch movies about Nam

Don't sweat it. My late FIL refused to watch the (dreadful) movie "Pearl Harbor" ... he was there, didn't need any reminders. I told him he wasn't missing anything anyway, the movie sucked. I'm sort of disgusted with myself, that I wasted 2.5 hours of my life watching it. "Saving Private Ryan" busted him up pretty bad, even though he wasn't there. Too similar, I guess ... You're in good company.
