On back porch talking with sgt major ray. Ray is a 25 year NCO army infantry. He served in Texas star I have no clue I was I think 4 years old then. I have read about ripcord. And as former airborne infantry 84-87 thankful I never had to live insanity as war. Ray sgt major told me about the NVA in firefights personal coming to kill you. Today ray is like A 69 year old but to me he is a stud warrior. And it took Harry Truman to allow blacks in infantry to desegregate the army. I just joking told ray as a joke why you can thank Truman for that shit. Fucking president who thinks as progressive asshole , Infantry sense of humor.
