[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 926304, member: 2011"] I read Plaster's book. I worked with a fella named Les who's story was told in the book. He was in a helluva fight. Saved his viet guys, lost all of his friends. I've talked with him for about the goings on over there. Wearing black jammies and not cutting hair. Spent most of the time on his belly. VC stepping within inches of his head. He also told of taking pics of our troops, **** few, but never the less setting on the fender of fuel trucks along the HCM trail. These guys were in cahoots with the VC. Additionally the trucks had the Shell Oil logo. Says he would have given anything for night vision and a pair of WW I gaiters/spats. . . He and Buffalobob are the only two men I've met were in the thick of it. Quiet heros in my mind. I feel a bit ashamed that I spent my time over there hunkered down in a reactor control room on a carrier. But the Rickover personally shot down my chit for a gun boat assignment. Really ticked me off. . . But I tried. . . [/QUOTE]
