I was in the Army during the Viet Nam war and fortunately none of the three years of Army life was spent in Viet Nam....

However, I did see action... I was involved in the now famous "One Day War" in the Dominican Republic....

What can I say about war???? War is Heck!!!!! Sure, that's strong language but I think it's apropos in this situation....

Operation Powerpack..... Boy, there's a name that's on the tip of everybodys tongue....

One day of police action and then 179 days patroling the beach....
Sure it was tough.... you try 180 days of sun, surf and beautiful girls with dark complextions... (not that I noticed)
I was undercover of course... I'm white,in fatigues, wearing a straw hat and carrying an M-14.. I was nearly invisible....
Bottom line--- no one stole the beach while on my watch and after six months they shipped me back to North Carolina kicking and screaming.... (that was the violent time during the whole six months)


Was anyone else on this forum in the Dom Republic at that time??
Just curious....
