Vietnam: No Regrets: One Soldier's Tour of Duty Kindle Edition

“In the 30+ years since its conclusion, countless volumes have been crafted regarding the Vietnam War – not to mention movies, television specials, and documentaries. Most of the written and visual media have done a commendable job of exploring the logistical blunders and other revealing aspects of the war itself; however, very few of them have given Vietnam the same empathic human touch as “Saving Private Ryan” so famously did for World War II. There is now a book that everyone can read and understand what a year in Vietnam was truly like. Told through the eyes of one soldier who was lucky enough to have been allowed to survive. Throughout the pages of Vietnam: No Regrets, author and Vietnam veteran J. Richard Watkins steps directly in the gap and fills that void in standout fashion. A heart-wrenching memoir recounted in an unfiltered, no-holds-barred manner, Vietnam: No Regrets takes the reader straight into the heart of one of the most controversial extended episodes in our nation’s history, painting the gruesome conflict in a graphic, vivid light – undeniably real and raw.

David Petraeus, Commander Multi National Command Iraq _______________________________________ I apologize to each and every Vietnam Veteran who served their country with honor. It was never my intent to disparage those who put themselves in harms way in Vietnam for I have the utmost respect for them. I just wanted to point out that those of us out in the bush every day and night seemed to be getting the shit end of the stick that's all.. I did a very poor job of explaining myself and I want to apologize once again. I am not a writer by profession all I am is an Irish/American story teller.
