"Faster than a speeding bullet! More powerful than a locomotive! Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound!

I was drafted in 1968 at the height of the vietnam war.
I was sent to ft. benning for basic training, and spent the rest of my two years there as an assistant instructor in the infantry officers advanced course. I was at Ft. Benning during the Calley trial.
