See, hear and feel what a combat soldier saw, heard and felt. Keith Parker writes about his experiences on Special Forces’ A-teams in Vietnam. While antiwar attitudes, the war’s tragic outcome and apology dominate the viewpoint of literature from the Vietnam war, these stories center on the time and place they were written about: the importance of teamwork to survival, the unimportance of near misses, the desperate need for a little more time, indifference to action more than a body length away, stepping through fear, equanimity from having ridden the whirlwind. The final story shows how cycles of risk and survival strengthen and open the heart.
