A Dustoff Huey was the most welcome sight for soldiers in the Vietnam War. Soldiers listened for the “whop-whop-whop” sound of the chopper that was coming to take them out of the battlezone.
It’s not a matter for debate that the Dustoff Medics saw more wartime brutality than anyone else.
These medics were men with outsized courage facing the most horrific wounds and injuries continually throughout their day.
They were constantly shot at, placed under mortar and heavy arms fire and sent into mine fields all to retrieve and heal the injured and wounded soldiers. They truly were among the most heroic men in the war.
