The battle over Agent Orange and those inflicted with illness seems to be never ending. Dealing with veterans has been the issue but what about the civilian USO tour personnel and civilian non-military contractors. Where do they turn to for help?

What a terrific book! Scrupulously researched and beautifully told, Haunting Legacy proves that try as they might, our past seven presidents have—one after the next—failed to exorcize the ghost of Vietnam.

Being a lead team didn’t mean we could just kick back and watch the world go around. We trained over and over until we nailed loading every weapon with precision and in the shortest possible time. Before long we will be training new crews and certifying the existing crews.

Runway duty can really be boring until the rats come out at night. I was lying on a wooden bench inside the sandbag bunker and just about to doze off when something got my attention. In the moonlight I could see the silhouette of a rat in the opening of the bunker.

Bullet riddled planes are returning to base at an alarming rate. Until now the planes have returned without incident but whatever is happening out there it seems to be heating up. I’ve also been talking to guys that are flying the gunships and they too are catching more ground fire.

But how could that be when our planes are taking more ground fire? I’m getting more confused about the war as well as my participation in it.

What makes the most fantastic and undocumented war-launching and war-prolonging lies credible are differences and prejudices, against others and in favor of our own. Without religious bigotry, racism, and patriotic jingoism, wars would be harder to sell.

What do chickens, goats and a Caribou have in common? The chickens and goats were my traveling companions and Caribou was our ride to Danang. I was told I had five days to report to Danang and how to get there was up to me. So I hopped a flight out of Cam Ranh Bay [...]
