Bitnam Nicknames

[DMZ-LT]

Everybody in my platoon had a nick name . Mine was easy LT , prounced EL TEE. Guess where Tex was from , Tiny was about 6ft 6 and jelly belly had an ample mid section. My Company Commander nick named me The Screamer because every time we got in a big contact he said I was screaming on the radio. I must admit he was probably right. Ain't easy easy answering his dumb $hit questions when the rounds started wizzing by and I am trying to keep my men as safe as I could while killing the little @&** so they would quit trying to kill us. Right in the middle of the fight he would want to know where most of the fire was , how many wounded could walk, about how many did I think we were fighting etc. None of which was helping keeping us safe and them dead.If I was a screamer so be it. I got a lot of us home
