So seeing stories of Vietnam... my Grandfather's brother volunteered to go to nam in the Marines, now I don't know all the facts like his MOS or anything but as the story goes is that he was in a fireteam attached to another squad of a few friends he knew. Anyways his job was to go to villages after the Air Force had laid waste to them and stack and burn the bodies... a real shit job. Anyways he had been in Vietnam for about 3 or 4 months when their squad was crossing a field just after doing their job in a village and they were ambushed. Only my great uncle and the squad leader survived, the other 10 perished. The squad leader and my great uncle were thought to be dead, the leader being paralyzed from the neck down due to his injuries and my great uncle taking a 7.62 round to the top left of his head and chest. Somehow he survived and still lives today. He is 68 and still kicking, tough guy.
