Nam Speak
Watch out for the 'reenactor' pictures inserted. Bad idea.
I have the book and quite good.
..............We would go to the gun range, shoot M-60s out
of helicopter doors and twin machine guns off the front of swift boats,
smoke great opium and could get a cold beer. It was dangerous when you
got fucking hit, you shat yourself and pissed yourself, but the rewards
were quite reasonable. In terms of a place to have a war, Vietnam was a
great place. If you look at Iraq, it's awful. Afghanistan is a beautiful
place but what a horrible place to fight a war. Vietnam had good food
and beautiful woman, [in Iraq or Afghanistan] you can't see the women or
get a beer. Bosnia was worse... Unpronounceable people in
unpronounceable places; freezing cold in the winter, hot as fuck in the
summer and shit food."
