No argument that they likely set him up for the direct cause of his demise. The MM would very likely have taken his life, so I cannot disagree with your astute observation. Thanks for the reminder of the perils of Viet Nam as well as the reminder of how we failed so many who served. Thank you for your service. I don’t like simply saying that, as I think it is too easy. I always donate $ to vets organizations each time I say it. We have to do better by our heroes who put themselves in harm’s way. Full stop.
