REVISED and UPDATED! In the late sixties, draft boards were gathering young men for the Vietnam War. High school kids who were not bound for college had to enlist or wait for a draft notice. The burden fell on the children of blue-collar families because college was not an easy option for them. Instead of starting a career, they had their lives put on hold to fight a war. The author was one of those kids. Threatened by the draft, he enlisted in the Army. He expected an easy two years working in a trade. Instead, he was assigned to the infantry and sent to Vietnam. There in the jungle, he hunted and fought the Vietcong. When his company was sent to Cambodia to disrupt enemy supply lines, he was wounded by shrapnel from a booby trap. All of this happened before his twenty-first birthday. He delivers his story as if you were sitting with him in a bar and hearing it firsthand over a beer. Learn how it felt to make it through basic training and advanced infantry training. Find out what it was like to live and work in the jungle. Experience the day-to-day grind of combat assaults, jungle patrols, and pulling guard on a firebase. Feel the adrenalin rush of a firefight. Hear about the lighter moments like smoking pot for the first time and R&R. Through words and pictures, you will experience every aspect of his journey to Vietnam and back again. This book is not a typical war story about good, evil, heroes and glory. Instead, it provides a sincere portrayal of a young soldier’s progression through immaturity, doubt and growth while fighting and surviving a questionable war.

5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. The Beauty In Simplicity By Kindle Customer This book was written in a simple, very comprehensive style. It conjured up my memories of Vietnam and the impact that year had on my life. It also made me realize why the North Vietnamese won the war even though they lost most of the military battles; it was their country not ours. They did not come and go. They stayed.

It takes you into the mind of someone who is going into an unpopular war (VietNam) and one who is trying to make the best of things for his country. The process along the way is informative and the jungle stories are a learning experience as well.I learned a lot and found it informative.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Tells it like it was - plain and simple By SCARECROW If your looking for a story about lots of combat and adrenaline rushing action then this books not for you. If you want to know what it was like for most of the soldiers in the field during the 70s then Mr. Udden has done a great job at bringing this to life. His story goes to prove what a mind numbing waste of time and effort our military leaders and politician's committed with such a great resource. And by the way, thank you Mr. Udden for you service. Wish I could have been there to tell all of you then.
