-Redstone Didn't actually serve in any branch of the armed services yet claims that he saw combat in Vietnam on a self-financed rescue mission. He's an obvious bullshit artist that needs to have his ass kicked ASAP.
If I recall correctly--and my apologies to Chief S itting Bull if I don't--the bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive, who was born in 1949 or 1950, alleges to have been in South Vietnam, working for a private civilian contractor during that war. A private contractor who did what, I don't think Chief S itting Bull ever illuminated anyone.
Maybe he helped build airport runways or something?
As a professional civilian, I of course could be wrong, as I usually am, but I can imagine cases where some place was under attack, and the private contractors would have to defend themselves.
Is this a credible experience for a young civilian contractor during the war in Vietnam?
I myself have no idea. All the civilian contractors I know, who were in Vietnam in that capacity, which is four of them, they were all ex-military guys, not young but not old either at the time (i.e., probably in their 30s).
