I was Assistant G-2 AIR OF IIFFV in Longbien Vietnam. We were told by our Commanding General to prepare a briefing for a Special Forces A-Team leader on activity in the "Parrot's Beak area".

Usually that meant 25 people and lots of posturing with some BIG brass.

This turned out to be myself, the G-2, the G-2 Air and the G-3 with the aforementioned A-Team leader.

He was a Captain and the only human being I have ever been around that caused immediate fear.

I looked at him and KNEW that that SOB would kill me if he thought it was remotely necessary, and would feel no remorse.

We gave the briefing, he left and we all gave a heartfelt sigh of relief.

One bad man!

 

Was that you?

And I was not fear inspirng. I was friendly and re-assuring. ;)

I felt very much like I was in the presence of a human diamond back rattler.

I'll never forget him.

Oh I suspect the Capt would have felt a reasonable amount of remorse at your demise. ;)
