I worked out in a village and when things were not stable I stayed the nights at a firebase. A guy passing through was assigned a cot in a tent near the airfield.<BR/>we got mortered the guy ran out looking or a bunker and got caught in the tent ropes. A mortor landed near and killed him. The next morning GR came around in a 3/4 ton and just tossed him in. One guy was messing around in the back and I asked an older Sgt. what was going on and he said they would do that thing. It was common knowledge but something you wouldn't just talk about. Cant say what got me on the subject. I went and tried to look it up but there was not much on the internet except one thing saying that dog tags were invented in WW I for identification of the dead.<BR/>I'll keep looking until I find someone who has done it. I try and back everything up.

Vietnam, draft physicals, and Selective Service lotteries seem like a lifetime ago.
