I am 73 years old, I went to the United States at the age of 13, I went to the Vietnam War, I was in the Air Born Brigade 173, of the 9th Tx Division, after a year of fighting and experiencing horrors and mistakes, I was prisoner of war for 3 and a half years, during that time as a prisoner I never saw sunlight, always in a tunnel, we were 9 prisoners, 3 Marines, 4 Rangers and 2 infantry, only 4 of us came out alive, we weighed around 45 kg, and our skin was bleeding from so much humidity, they rescued us at the end of the war, a UN mission, some nuns, they took care of us with so much love and care, it took us three years to recover, both in skin and in body I returned to my beloved Mexico and my state of Hidalgo, where I should never have left, and my ghosts, my fears have faded little by little, sometimes I feel hatred against the Army and sometimes I miss it, because they were my brothers, Thanks to music, I really enjoy my solitude, I never married or had children, my girlfriend that I had in my youth got married in the USA, because she knew that he was missing in battle, and they told him that perhaps he would never see me again, I almost don't like to sleep, I still have nightmares, thanks to music and singing I feel good. I went to a place far away from America to destroy their houses and a lot of damage, I am very sorry, it would never have happened. Greetings.

Those of you who really like this move should get a copy of Jerry Ziesmer's book "Ready when You Are, Mr. Coppola, Mr. Spielberg, Mr. Crowe". Jerry was first assistant director on Apocalypse Now and was there for the entire shoot. Lots of great details! For example: Near the end of filming in the Philippines, Martin Sheen threw a little party and Brando was one of the 9 guests. They were making spaghetti. At one point Sheen went into the kitchen to see if dinner was almost ready and Brando was just finishing off the last of the spaghetti for 9 people.

This song was released in November of 1969 and I was a Freshman in high school (born in 1954). One month later on December 1st, 1969, the Selective Service System conducted lotteries to call anyone born between 1944 to 1950 into military service for the Vietnam war. During the same timeframe, LBJ instituted a Selective Service Qualification test (called the Vietnam exam) where you needed a certain score to keep out of Vietnam. It came down to intellectual abilities where you needed to score at least 70 points to secure draft exemption, with actual college graduates needing a score of 80. If you were wealthy and could afford an education or knew someone who could pad your scores (like a college professor and/or others in influential positions), you were most likely deferred. If not, you went.

@@mangobagito470 - That is a great question. Every male was required to sign up for the Selective Service when they turned 18, so in 1972 I dutifully went down to the Post Office (yes, the Post Office) and filled out a short form and mailed it in. (No postage required, which was a nice benefit, don’t you think?) Nixon had promised to end the war, so that’s why he was most likely elected. The war started to wind down by then and the US was trying to get out. I remember at the time that I had absolutely no fear of being drafted, since the draft was over. But it was always in the back of my mind. The war officially ended in 1975 when the US pulled out and let the North Vietnamese take over South Vietnam. But believe me, I had no connections to save me if the war had dragged on. And thanks for asking.

Also born in 1954. After high school, I enlisted in the Army. 11B2P Airborne Infantry. Got out of basic and Jump School in 1973 then assigned to Fort Campbell 101st Airborne. I enlisted, so I knew I would probably be going to Viet Nam, but by 1973, the troops were coming home. Many of the guys in the unit (3/187th Rakkasans), especially the officers and senior NCO's had only just returned. After talking to those guys, I'm glad I didn't go. Huge respect for the guys that were there, and for the guys that didn't come back. Rest In Peace, Brothers.

Enemy shot him. They never knew why. In the mud in jungle with enemy around then. They won. My other brother said the scariest times was when the helicopter came for then. He said the pilots and guys on them were angels. My baby brother died a year ago. Heart n blood problems. My other brother has health problems but still with us. Called me a couple weeks back. Upset. Our last cousin died. He was the last one to go there n fight for our country and he died. Health n mental problems. Lots our family and friends served. Was was eventually called the American War. 40,934 killed in action and a total of 58,220 all together. Ask Safari for the terrible details for the others. Even ask yourself what 20 years there, was worth? Our boys booed and treated badly when they came home. They gave what they could and some gave all!! And what are we doing now?

He was a Radioman 3rd class on the blue crew of the John Marshall in 1979 when I knew him so he had just done this prior to enlisting in the navy. I can’t remember his name as I was on the gold crew and only hung out with him briefly at the submarine barracks on Ford Island, Pearl Harbor, while he was detached on shore duty to take some sort of a crypto-communications class.

CCR's music captured the feeling of that war. I believe it helped us to get out of it by revealing the emotions we felt to the American people.

@@H60ace 1st thank You for your service. Let us not forget it was allot of Americans at home who under minded the military effort as well with the help of the media, & politicians. The only thing I might add is this current administration is a complete failure; Top to bottom, & we should not be supporting Ukraine IMHO. After all it was Brandon who green lighted this war.

Только сейчас пришло на ум, на 5м десятке - как же нелепо выглядит эта бравада под эпическую песню - когда рота вооружённых до зубов десантников на оснащённых в тч ракетами 15-20 вертушках размазывают по пляжу деревню из бамбуковых шестов и её преимущественно гражданское население в соломенных панамах и босиком, вооружённых парой калашей и станковым пулемётом начала века.

I live on the fly over route from Barksdale Airbase in Shreveport. They do touch and go's at Gregg County Regional all the time. C 130, various fighters, choppers usually are just flying to Dallas/Ft Worth. Lots of stuff goes over. If it's local, they are less than 1,000 ft up. The choppers look less than 2,000'. Can hear them some.
