This has brought up a lot of memories for me. The sounds of the jungle. The sight of of the endless green. The smell of strained peaches. Ahhh yes, the Nam.

I was much younger then, and innocent. It was all so quick. One day I was 3 years old, watching Mr. Rogers and anxiously awaiting for Fred-Bear (my teddy) to be done in the dryer after a wash, and the next I was still 3 years old in the land of red clay and betel nut, on the razors edge, waiting for Charlie to strike.

We were part of Nixons' "secret war". Selected from the best nusery schools and day cares in the nation, we trained hard and became the very best. Our numbers were culled down over time. Training accidents claimed some, teething incidents took others. It never got any easier.

Finally, we were ready. I was a proud member of the 4th Tricycle Division (mechanized). We were a rowdy bunch, arrogant, cocksure and incontinent. We could throw a tantrum at the drop of a hat. Toddlers trained to kill, the bane of many a VC regular.

I remember after we were inserted into Laos, we made our way to the Ho Chi Minh trail. After nap time, of course. It was a tough hump. Jo-Jo "stinky" Reynolds nearly lost it after losing his binky two klicks into the bush. A quick shot of Similac calmed our already shaky nerves, this far behind enemy lines.

It happened so quickly after that. A blur of green tracers and I found myself pinned down, alone, on top of Hill 315. I was surrounded by the NVA 45th regiment. Hopelessly outnumbered, I was running low on Zwieback and had only 2 frags and 20 rounds of sixty ammo.

Was I scared?

Sure I was scared.

I was scared some of those gook bastards might get away.

Rowan, rate the fucking post. I've seen you minus two peoples posts 'cos they took the piss out of you.

She's Scottish dude, it's not the same. Anyway, she left our green and pleasent isle.

When you leave England you become less English, you become less English. You degrade slowly until finally your Englishness is no more than a cheap anecdote and maimed, weak accent.

This fate awaits you Jamie, soon you'll be as English and corrupted as a pint of Budweiser.
