Default Don't know

He doesn't say. I think the only units that had mules were the 101st Airborne and the 1st Cav. There is no caption anywhere in the book about this picture but on reading his preface I saw he was in III Corps and in Cambodia in 1969-70. The 1st Cav was the only unit with mules near that area. There are some very disturbing pictures in this book. Nothing gory, just showing some of the idiocy that occurred. I'll probably show some more pictures as time goes by.

Thanks. I guess I'd like to see them. Will you keep posting them under this thread?

Default Once I Was

by Tim Buckley

Once I was a soldier
And I fought on foreign sands for you
Once I was a hunter
And I brought home fresh meat for you
Once I was a lover
And I searched behind your eyes for you
And soon there'll be another
To tell you I was just a lie


And sometimes I wonder
Just for a while
Will you.....remember me
Please remember me.....
