Welcome home, finallyI hope to see you this Memorial Dayby Oliver North05/22/2012Forty-three years ago this week, the fabled 101st Airborne Division launched Operation Apache Snow -- a major ground offensive against North Vietnamese army invaders in the treacherous A Shau Valley.Though fighting raged over hundreds of square miles of triple-canopied jungle, the focus soon became a single terrain feature, a mountain, with peaks as high as 3,000 feet, the Vietnamese named Dong Ap Bia, or "Mountain of the Crouching Beast." The Americans who fought there called it Hamburger Hill.cont...
I'd love for him to come over and claim he was there. Come on, you phony ****. Hang yourself with your own words.
Oh yeah, numbersBoo was there, along with TomInTib, DUmoTex, and John F'n. It's seared into his memory.The DUmp is crawling with fake soldiers.
There's a post here somewhere of his quoted which has him in basic training in 1970. Whoopsie.

The Battle of Hamburger Hill was a battle of the Vietnam War that was fought by the United States and South Vietnam against North Vietnamese forces from May 10–20, 1969.
Wasn't the movie "Full Metal Jacket" about that time in Vietnam??

My Dad was a fighter pilot and retired as a Captain in the US Navy after seeing combat in WWII and Korea, and commanding an aircraft carrier in VietNam. My grandfather was an Army sergeant who went "Over There" in WWI. My great-grandfather was a captain in the Union Army. I served in the US Army and received a battlefield promotion to corporal in the A Shau Valley in 1970. It has been a joke for generations in my family that there is a very thin line between fools and patriots. (And no one can figure out how the Hell I turned out to be a "bleeding-heart librul".)

There was a movie called Hamburger Hill that came out about the same time as Full Metal Jacket you may be thinking of.
Isn't that Lt. Dan from Forrest Gump?
Lt Dan is a BIG time supporter of the military.Nadin Lt Dan band.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lt._Dan_Band
Yeah, it just sounded to me like 11Bravo took his back story from Lt. Dan to some extent.I follow Gary S. on Twitter so I seem him promote all the time.
soon as you find your manhood all else falls into place.
If Ft. Hood was "workplace violence," then the Hindenburg was an air show.
I don't know if sand glows in the dark, but we're gonna find out.
That was Marines and the combat part dealt with Tet and the battle for Hue City IRRC.
