I was inspired to write this book by the men that I served along side.There is no hyperbole in this book. Land clearing and the men who were part of it in Vietnam are unknown to most of America. The history of land clearing in Vietnam is obscure. These men were the most unwashed, unruly, unshaven, and undisciplined of probably any unit in the Army in Vietnam. Nobody worked harder, longer hours, or endured more hardships than the men of land clearing.The Officers and NCOs knew that and gave us respect. I am confident we gave countless reasons to bring many, if not all, up on Article 15 charges. I don't think that happened to anyone I knew. The work was so difficult and critical to the mission of the US Army that leadership looked the other way.I would not want to repeat my time in Vietnam, which is why I did not re-enlist. I would not take a million bucks for the experiences and friendships.
