The Nam # 2.5

by @geno-cattouse-1

The Viet Nam era was a witches brew.Mission creep in Saigon The evening news brought the Junkie trips stumbling into my TV dinner, kicking over my Tang. Bouncing Betty went bang Beans and dicks out the can. Guys in my age bracket knew it was safe cause 18 was the magic Number. RESPECT Simon and Garfunkel ,The godfather of soul. What we. Had Here. Was. Failure to Communicate. We were reaching for the stars with one hand and squeezing of rounds with the other. Bobby was in the crossfire Martin would retire, I remember. Guys slinking back home with broken minds Baby killers all. No love ,No jobs. COMBAT FATIGUE. PTSD Came later. Got a monster habit, Nose running of like a racetrack rabbit. Oh yeah Asian Strain Gonorrhea. Penicillin Penishmillin. WTF Hendricks.
