In VN I saw the same sort of stuff.
It was like a mini-war at times at base.
We actually had 3 murders in our compound in Quang Tri
the culprits wern`t Amish
I`m gonna see the movie,had an uncle died at Iwo.
My F-I-L was on Iwo, his jeep was blown up, he escaped without a scratch. Signal Corps.
I gotta admit that there were tensions. I was an 11E40 and 11B40 Red Devil with 1/77 Armor and 1/61 Inf of the 1st Bde 5th mech at Camp Carrol. I know the AO's around FSB A4 and C2 real well. We had pretty good leadership and I think that kept much of the racial jive to a relative minimum. Nothing like the mess in the Americal.
