Don't know why I didn't notice this post before. Old age I guess. Where do you hold the Wounded Warrior event. Thanks for all you do for vets.
John Wayne I think he had a football injury to his back, which kept him out. There is a cool story about how he helped the CIA get two KGB agents who were sent to assassinate him. https://www.military.com/underthera...-wayne-got-rid-kgb-agents-hired-kill-him.html
So did the real green berets. Vietnam is an oddity, we won just about every battle but lost the war. I believe the reason is we could never get enough of the south Vietnamese to stand up for their country. We were outsiders and they saw little difference between Ho Chi Minh and the S Vietnamese leaders. Likely the same situation in Afghanistan today.
