In the Rear with the Beer

A Vietnam Experience

De: Victor Franklin Melcher IV

Narrado por: Tom Rockwell

This work pertains to the Vietnam experience as it relates to young men performing duties in the Rear Echelon. These texts are farcical, ribald and, in some cases disturbing. No claim of objectivity in my reporting...

I interpret through satire, political incorrectness, hyperbole, and profanity. Don't look for courageous deeds...in my group, heroic action didn't come without extreme prodding.
