One thought on “Drill Sergeant Training Program in the Vietnam War Era”
Well, I have to admit, I actually had to laugh at the video. I don’t know what you other guys thought about it but I can only speak from my experience in basic. We had a sawed off runt named Sgt. Lett who was actually a Spec. 4. He turned out to be a drunk and a thief. Didn’t have a CIB and was never over seas. I guess I didn’t understand what a phony horses ass he really was until I went to Nam with the Americal Division and ended up doing 245 days of bush time out of a year’s tour. So I hope I’m not out of line here but this bum was an embarrassment to me as a Fort Polk survivor and a CIB and Purple heart recipient. Just a simple observation on my part.
