don't miss this site. It will be one you want to bookmark. A whole education in itself. I went lookin for it one night after Sgt J had talked about capmarines on vet.com. The story below speaks volumes of the men that served with the capmarines. God Bless them.

Sis,
No doubt in my mind that the Cap Marines fought the kind of war we all should have been fighting. This being done, the outcome would have been entirely different and the Communists wouldn?t have had a snowball?s chance in hell, no way. Lessons learned and compare the MO of today?s SF?s to the Cap Marines of the VN War and the similarities are absolutely compelling.

Great Site, Butch!....

I have saved it to refer back to. It will take a while to digest all that.

Thanks for checking out the cap marine site - it's sort of a microcosym of what all of us went through. The larger units didn't get to see much of the good side of that war - maybe this site will help them - it's an experience I'll never forget as long as I live. Thanks for everything Arrow (Sparrow) - you've always been a trooper.
