You know, it didn't.

No, pretty much, yeah. Pretty much, but the thing was, the crazy thing was, is that those guys were the first family I had. Just that little bit of time, I fell in love with those guys. I mean, they were my brothers. I mean, it happened like, boom, like that. So to this day, I'm still close to him. I talk to him once a week, certainly once a month.

That was it, yeah.

Oh, not a lot, not a lot. I mean, I was in a bush for a month, and then I got wounded. And then I got wounded, and then I hit a chi-com, Chinese communist grenade, we call them chi-coms. It was set up as a trap, and my buddy, what the fuck's his name? because my mind just went blank, but he'll kill me. I forgot his fucking name.

So anyhow, he steps over a trip wire, and I hit it. And so I caught shrapnel in both legs and left elbow. And then I got medevaced out all the way to the Naval Hospital in Cusco. So I was there for a couple of months or three. I don't even know how long.

We were walking on ambush and Brownie. sees all of a sudden where we're at. We're going through this village, right? And it just got dark, right? And we're going through this village, and two NVA soldiers, both with NVA rifles, black pajamas to all mine yards, come running right at us. He turns with his M60 and takes them both out. I mean, and they're dancing like dolls. And...

So, yeah, so, and then that night, right then, you know, we sweeped towards the area where we had the activity come from. And my place was, I was sweeping towards where there was the hooch that I think that they came running out of. And I took a hand grenade and threw it, right? And only it didn't go as far as I thought it was going to go.

And it landed, but it landed on the other side of a rice paddy dike facing away from us. So when it blew, it blew away from us, right? Guys, Ligotic and George, the squad leader, I turn around and go, did you just fucking throw that? I said, yeah, I did. And they go, well, don't throw any more tonight. And so the next day, George tells me to don't throw any more hand grenades.
