Publisher's Synopsis
"He volunteered to go to war for his country. He saw himself as a soldier in Vietnam defeating the communists. He would be loved and adored by the Vietnamese as one of the conquering heroes. He would come home with medals on his chest and maybe a war wound or two, nothing too serious though. His visions of glory and heroism however started to unravel as soon as he went into the Army. Instead of the conquering hero running through the jungle saving helpless villagers from the evil communists, he became a teletype communication specialist for the Army Security Agency, an arm of the National Security Agency. Instead of a heroic warrior he simply became a man. The battle he fought were against the boredom and tedium of life behind the wire. His battle scars came from finding out who he really was and who he wasn't. This book tells the tales of a non-combat soldier in Vietnam and the years following."--.
