One would be amazed at how many people claim to have prior combat experience. We have a local group of Vietnam Vet’s (sadly are numbers sre deminishing) and have run into many who claim to be Vietnam Veterans who never set foot on that soil. About two years ago we had one that claimed to be with the 101st and he told a pretty good story but he failed to remember some key details that anybody who served with the 101st in Vietnam would have known. When pressed for answers he left the group and it was later we found out that while he was in the Army he never left US soil. Any time I see a man boast or brag about his service in Vietnam he’s either crazy or lying. Those of us that served realize there’s nothing to brag about and rarely do we even discuss it. I’m sorry but my service in Vietnam was not the high point of my life, just a point I’d like to leave behind. My wife and daughters know very little of my time spent in the A Shau.
