“I never saw anyone “wounded” by a .50 cal.”
Well I did. Don’t know how or why she wasn’t dead, but we took her SKS rifle away from her, tried to stop the bleeding and then got her a medicac helo to a hospital in Saigon. All I can say is that it wasn’t her time to die. Three 50 cal in the chest and nothing lethal. I’ll bet she’s got a mean scar today, but she’s probably still walkin’ around.
In Houston perhaps, with beaucoup grandchildren. :)
Many VC, when they found out what their northern brethren *really* had in mind, became part of the "boat people".
3ea. .50 cal in the chest? She should have been minus a chest and back!
