Robert "Doc" Werner joined the U.S. Navy at age 16 when his friend's mother forged his own mother's signature. His goal was to see the world by sailing around on a ship. Instead, he served as a Navy corpsman attached to U.S. Marines In Vietnam and received three Purple Hearts due to injuries received in devotion to serving with those men.
Werner vividly describes the job of a a Navy corpsman, walks us through each of his injuries - including the time he and a wounded Marine were left overnight in the jungle after a rescue helicopter came under fire.

They call them soldiers because they sold out to the agenda of the government and they call it the "Marine corps" because a corpse is maybe what they'll be if they join and the ones that survived are called a vete(ran) because they (ran) from their enemies and got away. And when they get home their family says "we thought you were dead so we -sold yer- soldier stuff".😂

I remember growing up to the Vietnam War. Soldiers did their best for themselves and fellow brethren. When they would finally return home they were greeted by anti-war groups. They were called "baby killers". They were spat on. They definitely didn't come home to a welcoming thank you. I think Vietnam changed everything regarding how soldiers are greeted with cheers, applause and heartfelt welcome home. Now our generation acknowledges their sacrifice and lays the blame where it belongs, the government and politicians. The soldiers are serving their country.

I served as a Navy Corpsman w/the Marines in Nam in 1966. Picked up my Purple Heart carrying wounded Marines to a chopper when we came under a mortar attack. Didn’t even know I was hit until one of the guys in the chopper pulled me inside saying; “Come on Doc, you’re going too.” I experienced the baby killer thing coming through LAX just like a lot of other guys, and I have to admit to disliking Hippies to this day.

My dads own family didn’t show any appreciation for his service in the Army in Vietnam. No party, no questions about his experience or how he was doing mentally. Nothing. On top of this he was called names and he took off his uniform and never put it on again. Those men served, sacrificed and suffered in Vietnam and for many years after and they should be forever proud of their service. Regardless of how you feel about the war from a macro sense, these men had nothing to do with the political decisions to go in in the first place or the decision to pull out before the full objective was met. They did they’re jobs and did them well. To all those who have served, all who are serving, and especially the Vietnam veterans-THANK YOU!! 🇺🇸

I worked with a guy who had been a Navy Corpsman in WW2. When he was drafted, he was given a choice of jobs and he selected Corpsman, figuring he'd be handing out bandaids on a ship. Nope. He ran with the Marines in Okinawa. He had been a Zoot Suiter in East Los Angeles and knew many of the guys in the Zoot Suit riots. He thanked the Navy for removing him from his home life into a more productive one. He never talked about his time on Okinawa. RIP Phil Antielo.

@Sir What does that have to do with people being brainwashed into believing that Wars are about protecting our freedom when we're already all free? with phrases like "Operation Freedom" or "Freedom Fighters" for example? that the rich 1% ruling class who own the government likes to use those phrases to brainwash people into fighting for their agenda? It's a known fact that war is a big money maker for the rich when they make all their weapons in these factories and it helps the economy to boom and then they sell their weapons to their allies for billions of dollars. It's always rich tyrants fighting other rich tyrants over money, oil, resources and trade and that's what all wars are always about not about protecting our freedom so the only soldiers that I ever support are the ones that had to fight under the "Select Service Draft" that they used to use back like the Vietnam War to force people to fight for the government because back then people knew what I was talking about; nowadays everybody's so easily brainwashed into fighting or bribed for a better life after they come back if they even come back from the war at all. So these soldiers sold out either by being brainwashed or fighting for a career, a pension and a life on the barracks if they don't get killed. So those soldiers are supporting War which I'm against because it kills innocent civilians in other countries all because the rich want to be richer so I don't support those soldiers at all I'm against them.

While serving alongside your mates I realized that Doc truly cared about my welfare. You guys are awesome. Semper Fi Doc!

Sorry it took a whole generation for our hero’s to get the respect they deserve. We will never forget.

Born same year, parents kinda the same but some of my very first memories are of the tv news showing combat footage and I just thought those guys were (still are) larger than life. The wrong people got spit on. The ones that deserved that were sitting in the a/c counting money and sending kids off to war for somewhat questionable reasons. I made it a point to have my kid know right away who to respect and when I see him at 20yr old go up to a total stranger and thank him for his service and welcome him home it just warms my heart like nothing else. Anyone who served this great country that reads this, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are the heartbeat . Welcome home.

First of all, I really appreciate you serving our country! Thank you!! Thank you also for sharing your experience in Vietnam. After everything you endured, I'm sure it isn't easy. Even though I was just a young toddler during the war, I feel compelled to apologize for the beyond brutal and insensitive welcome you and so many others experienced coming home. I don't understand it, nor will I ever. I'm so so sorry for the idiots that ran rampant among us that care. I hope so much that you find moments of peace, relaxation, and love for the rest of your life.

They call them soldiers because they sold out to the agenda of the government and they call it the "Marine corps" because a corpse is maybe what they'll be if they join and the ones that survived are called a vete(ran) because they (ran) from their enemies and got away. And when they get home their family says "we thought you were dead so we -sold yer- soldier stuff".😂🤣

HM2 thank you for gallantry. You were a true warrior to protect and defend your Marines. As a fellow 8404, you might have been the reason why we trained to serve with the ass in the grass mud Marines. Semper Fi! Thank you for being there.

Thank you for your service. I am so sorry that that generation did not treat you guys with respect I was not born then, but I surely do respect every single one of you soldiers, and what you have done for this country and the sacrifices you have made. This is just another reason why no one should be kneeling for the national anthem, whether we agree with the politics of war, or not respect your soldiers they do as they are told, and do things that you will not God bless you my friend.

Thank you Sir! I was a Corpsman as well, 1990-1995. Was in a field hospital in the Balkans conflict with Fleet Hospital Six. Saw some serious injuries as I was an 8489, Orthopaedic Tech. BUT, we were stationary, they came to us, and received no direct attack, so what you and others did we owe a debt for performing the unimaginable. Thank you and all other Vets who have done the unthinkable.

As a 8404 serving with the mud Marines out CP in San Diego, I thank you for the inroads guy like you gave us proper training to properly serve our Marines. I’m exactly like you, those guys are MY MARINES. I’m responsible for their care. Loved all of them, even the A-holes. Still my Marines. Sempre Fi. Do or die! Ohhh Raaahhha!

My dad was HM3 Navy Corpsman attached to the 1st Marines. He's told me stories of other Corpsman shooting up their own morphine, High and useless. His last night in Vietnam his squad was ambushed and he was the only one to make it out alive after his buddy flew in and rescued him after over 20 hours of fighting.

We became a family that few will ever understand, still are, and always will be. To all who have served, are serving, and will serve....Semper Fi
