We know our gov't has clandestine groups and means of getting things done. But I've been wondering how plausible it is for this following event to have played out.
A person I knew was at the younger end of the age spectrum for service during the Vietnam war, and had gone to college instead of enlisting. While I'm not sure of the specifics, I'm guessing that's how it played out without his conscription. Maybe they didn't get his number in the draft. At any rate, he told someone close to him, while he was nearing death (about 14 years ago) that he had been recruited for a military operation to go to Vietnam, or perhaps another area over there, to take out a general or a higher up, as they couldn't technically do it officially. He was chosen from his college because of his knowledge with guns, how they knew this, I do not know. Others were chosen from different areas too. Apparently he was there awhile, but not too long for his parents to be suspicious he was gone from school. That was what I was told when I asked.
In his adult years, he was a bit reclusive and didn't like gov't. He buried guns all over his property in case they ever showed up. He was always a depressed person. Maybe he carried this around for years?
I believe this was all divulged as he was dying from a liver ailment, as I didn't know about it until a few years after he died. And I will add to it that I remember his tellling us in a conversation about his DI (drill instructor?) giving him directions but he wasn't enlisted, so he didn't have to listen. We were perplexed because we had no idea what he was talking about and we knew he never served in the military. It may have been delusion from his illness. I have no idea.
What do you guys think? It's intruiging and I've always wondered how true this may be.
I would believe everything he said on his death bed. All this sounds very plausible. You should talk to the people who listened to him first hand and try and get a complete and accurate account of what exactly he said.
I had a friend who could not get sober, he tried, but the VietNam war just did him in, he would tell me that if I knew how many men got shot in the back from their own goverment, I would be considered dangerous by the government. I remember that well, I know that he drank to keep something suppressed. He may have been telling the truth.
The only time I saw my older brother cry was when he came back from Vietnam in '72. Some kid spit on him at the airport and called him a "fucking baby killer." It was bad enough that 'Nam really screwed him up [his initiation ceremony for killing his first "slope" was to drink whiskey out of a boiled skull] but to have to face that when he got home almost broke him. He turned to drugs, lived a rough life, kicked it and turned to Jesus, but the damage was done. He died this past March. Even though we had a falling out, I tried to help him. You want to talk about a raw deal, that was his life. Those guys were doing what they were told, and the upper ups got away with it all.
I'm sorry to hear about your friend. He dealt with more than most people ever will.
My person wasn't known to be a heavy drinker until he had an accident and messed up his knee and I was told the doctor told him the best medication was ibuprofen and whiskey. I have always thought that was highly embellished. No real doctor would say that. But I believe that combination tore him up. He was a smoker as well. He may have been exposed to AO. Who knows!
