I was enlisted worked in Logistics. I didn't start to question it until I returned home and saw all the craziness.You fly Huey’s or something? My father in law was a Corpsman in Vietnam. Injured by a bamboo mine. 69 and 70 were the years that the soldiers were really starting to question authority wasn’t it? My namesake died there in Tay Ninh in 69.

At Bien Hoa we had the modified C-123s that flew the Ranch Hand missions that sprayed defoliant over the Ho Chi Minh trail. I flew a couple of missions. Despite heir efforts those bastards continued to get through.So you have to be impressed with the way the NV were able to utilize the Ho Chi Minh trail right? Those people were pretty brave.
The Ho Chi Minh should've been kept on perpetual napalm strikes. Keep their main supply route burning hot an bright, and they would've caved early on.So you have to be impressed with the way the NV were able to utilize the Ho Chi Minh trail right? Those people were pretty brave.
If I had a dollar for every bomb dropped on the trail I would be living in a mansion and have a private box in Tiger Stadium.The Ho Chi Minh should've been kept on perpetual napalm strikes. Keep their main supply route burning hot an bright, and they would've caved early on.
Including a shitload by BUFFs.They moved mostly at night, and didn’t use lights. But sometimes their convoys would get bogged down or stuck and when that happened they were fish in a barrel but yeah more tonage was dropped on the trail by the US military than in the entire 2nd world war by the US.
WTF is a BUFF?Including a shitload by BUFFs.

I assume that's a big ugly fat ass bomb.Big Ugly Fat Fucker
I was going through some old threads and came across this one. A BUFF was an acronym for a B-52 bomber.I assume that's a big ugly fat ass bomb.
