I had friend growing up said his (half) brother was in that picture as well - I think that’s ‘Charlie’ company from Life magazine.

Funny how corpsmen never tap their own blood.
How many times do you want them to do it?........Sorry, but yours was a stupid statement bro.........

Too much chopper time for me. I should have double checked. My bad.
Yea, right..........
To: Red Badger
The story of these Marines at Hue and after is largely about trauma, both physical and psychic
Depends on where you sit...The story of the Hue Marines was already being told as Marine Corps history when I was in boot camp '69.

Yes, Kerry has always been a very deep non-public far Left Marxist and worked with them on all their agendas foreign and domestic. If we could get any of them on treason, he would be at the top of the list.

I was on NIMITZ when it was less than 10 years old. During one yard period, voids were opened for inspection and one contained a fully operational still.

why no flak-jackets in that cover picture ?In my time in the field as a Redcatcher I never wore one and no one else in my platoon did that I recall. They were available, but few in my outfit toted them around with everything else they had to hump.
