About this listen
"A combat veteran's astute look at the Vietnam War, both captivating and emotionally forthcoming." (Kirkus Reviews)
In this frank, engaging memoir, Captain Chamberlain chronicles the missions, personal courage and sacrifice of the Marines he was privileged to command; painfully recalls the unspeakable order he and his Marines were forced to obey; and the cover-up which followed. Nearly four decades later, Captain Chamberlain makes right what was wrong; brings closure to the family of a fallen and abandoned warrior; and attempts to put to rest the guilt which plagued his military career and life. Unlike most books on the Viet Nam War, this book is written at a tactical level by a Marine Company Commander who was there.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Not my war but I can relate to so much.
I was trained by our Vietnam Veterans, well those who stayed in the service. For me that was at the time, The Australian Army. It turned into a shit fest when it became the ADF, went all warm and fuzzy and you couldn't berate a male and female soldier going to the mess while holding hands. I got fried because she cried that I was mean.
Sorry, I was off topic and in rant mode, this happens when you are screwed up with CPTSD and your government does everything possible to avoid paying because you cannot work. Chapter 47 and 48 really resonate with me on the scale of affliction and treatment or lack thereof. Lives that are ruined and the will to give up completely and put an end to the pain. For every Vietnam Veteran that went through this I understand, those that lost in relationship, I understand. It never goes away, the easy way out really is easy to those of us who try and don't succeed. Then we are guilted and shamed because we don't consider everyone else who is left behind. In Australia you can't just get a gun and end it, you have to be more creative. So, the story does show how an incident can cause this problem and the person has no idea that they are even having any issue. I hate wars, I thought I was patriotic, I almost completed 30 years but for being medically discharged. I carried the problem for eleven years and never knew I was affected. These Vietnam Veterans are truly the greatest warriors of our history. They saw more combat in the 12 months in country than most infantry did in all of the years of ww1 or ww2, likewise post Vietnam we were never deployed for 12 months at a time, we did rotations depending on our specialty and requirement. It was open ground and technology to help that was not even dreamed of in 1968/9. I thought I was capable, but listening to the memoirs of men like Capt Chamberlain bring home the true realities of how difficult daily life can be. "But for the grace of God, there go I" and this was evident in several incidents he spoke of. I am in awe of these men who walked where many would cringe in fear... Especially those who sent them and us!
