The author was just a kid when he was asked to fight and kill in the jungle of Vietnam without the presence of Army leadership. By his wits and determination he provided mortar support, survived, and returned home to fight the war again.
At the age of 25, I was drafted and whisked through stateside training in the Army's hopes to have me in country' (Vietnam) for the 1969 TET offensive. During the twenty weeks of training, I survived knowing I would have 30 days leave' before going. I never got the leave', instead was shipped directly to Southeast Asia. Selective Memories is my experiences as a good will ambassador to Southeast Asia with the 11th Light Infantry Brigade, Americal Division. We were on mountaintops without officers or even career military personnel. We were a bunch of kids fighting for our lives in a strange hostile environment, surviving using knowledge gained in our childhoods. This book is about the time I spent wiping out communism and having my faith in the Washington leadership's ability to wage a war against a non-traditional enemy destroyed.
