"They come from the end of the line, most of 'em. Small towns you never heard of: Pulaski, Tennessee. Brandon, Mississippi. Pork Bend, Utah. Wampum, Pennsylvania. Two years' high school's about it. Maybe if they're lucky, a job waiting for 'em back in a factory. But most of 'em got nothin'. They're poor. They're the unwanted. Yet they're fighting for our society and our freedom. It's weird, isn't it? At the bottom of the barrel, and they know it. Maybe that's why they call themselves 'grunts', cause a grunt can take it, can take anything."
It is 1971. The US involvement in Vietnam is going down, but the draft relentlessly continues. People from all over the nation are having a rifle shoved in their hand and being sent overseas. Anti-war protesters are numbering in the millions, and discipline is barely heard of amongst troops. And yet, they serve with a purpose, and some even find pride in their valor. For whatever reason, you have been sent to 'Nam, whether you volunteered of were drafted, here you are.
Rules:
1. Please stay in the period(1971), if you need to look up whatever you need to clarify for dates.
2. I enjoy some historical controversy(e.g the draft), but avoid racism and sexism. Those have no place in Vietnam
3. Movie references are allowed
4. 1-2 paragraph minimum
FYI We are in the 7th Air Cavalry, we are a small squad made up of two fireteams, each fire team led by
Rowboat Girlyman
and
Jackson123
Roles Needed(Other than rifleman):
-Radioman
-Squad Gunner
-Grenadier (LAW or Thumper)
-Translator(Optional)
-Medic

Personality: Quiet, he mostly keeps to himself, but in the heat of combat he leads with a sailor's mouth and with a soldier's pride
Background: Born in Nebraska, he was raised by a military family, both his brothers joining the Army. He enlisted in 1968, and served with the 3rd Infantry Division during his first tour in Vietnam. When he got back to the states he worked hard and helped soldiers acclimate to civilian life. He punched an officer in the Coast Guard due to a disrespectful comment and was given a choice: court martial or combat. He chose the latter and was transferred to the 7th Air Cav.
Equipment: x2 Canteens, x6 20 round magazines(loaded with only 16 round to prevent jamming), x3 white smoke, x2 red smoke, x2 green smoke, x2 frags, flashlight, knife.
Weapon(s): M16A1 fitted with a bayonet
Helmet Graffiti: A lot his written on his helmet, such as "Send John Wayne, not Bob Hope", "God is My Pointman", "I see a red door...", a list of his firebases, Micah 4:4, and "Don't be first, Don't be last, and Don't volunteer for anything." On his helmet band he also has items, on the left side being a rosary, and a small American Flag(folded into a triangle), and on the right side he has his 3rd ID patch and a black king(from chess). He also has a Nixon Lodge campaign button.

fine. But just sayin, you cannot complain if someone says that you have passed your expiration date.
