Insights into Vietnam Uncensored

There was no sense in thinking of what would happen on the next mission. It was useless to extrapolate the future even with advanced logistics.

Nothing went as planned, and the enemy proved cunning, relentless, and elusive. We needed to quell the anxiety, plan as best we could, and step into the theater representing the Vietnam War.

Were we successful? Ideally, the team would manage to complete our assignments and return uninjured. I’m sorry to say it was not the case. But our training, combat experience, and brotherhood made us into formidable adversaries.

Unfortunately, more than 58,000 of us perished, and 150,000 returned wounded. The numbers are haunting.

Vietnam Uncensored is a powerful book delving into the harsh realities of battlefield anxiety, heroism, and the profound impact of loss. Uncover gripping stories of bravery and the emotional toll of combat. The book launch remains scheduled for November 11th. Read the first chapter and listen to the captivating ghost story of Cpl. Cummings, broadcast by NPR, at vietnamjerry.com. You’ll be glad you did.
