So, this is the story of millions and millions of young men back 10,000 to 20,000 years or more.
Instead I was saved from being drafted and sent on the front lines of Viet Nam and to die like most did within the first two weeks of being there because they were just kids and "What did they know?" except about going to high school and maybe dating girls and getting stoned on something?
They were dead because they didn't even know how to survive high school let alone Viet Nam at age 18.
50,000 of our boys died in Viet Nam and the rest came home as "The Walking Wounded" from that war with PTSD of various kinds.
However, I was lucky. I wasn't sent there and killed in the first two weeks time and I survived and had three children one each with three wives and I adopted a daughter and took care of my 2nd wives two kids too and started or bought businesses to support everyone along the way.
I was one of the lucky ones and not one of the ones (who were classmates of mine) who died within their First two weeks in the Viet Nam war.
