@@richardkirk5098 It's your time and effort to waste...and a is side-effect of American brainwashing... No other country does christian brainwashing. UK churchgoing is 5%. My wife is American and I have almost trained her to go to logic and science and reason...
Thanks for your service and all the others that served in Vietnam!! Please remember the ones that didn’t make it back home!!!
A colleague of mine served in an EVAC hospital that was in the casevac chain in the Wolfhounds' AOR. He had gotten a hop in a chopper to return from in-country R&R to his duty station. On the way, his aircraft was diverted to pick up a critically wounded Wolfhound soldier. The aircraft was taking fire from a treeline. The co-pilot handed him an M16 with a full magazine and told him to put suppressive fire into the treeline while the chopper landed to pick up the casualty. When the casualty was aboard and the chopper lifted off, he put down the empty rifle and began to work on the casualty. He had one foot on the skid and was paying attention to the wounded man, using life-saving measures, when the crew chief got his attention. Only then did he realize that the helicopter had climbed out of range of ground fire, and that it was a long way down. He recalled that he spent some time at the O club when he got back to the evac hospital.
We come home soldier. A real hero.
The most basic video editing software has a function named "reduce background noise". When you click that function, the white noise in the background is eliminated so the speaker's voice comes through much more clearly. Their historical testimony should be dignified with proper audio. The year is 2024.
