About this listen
Bullets and Bandages: Bond of Brothers is a story inspired by the words of a US Army Field Medic, 21st Infantry, and his stories about his tour in Vietnam 1968-69. Through those stories, the author was given the unique insight into the men who struggled to survive in a war many of us didn't understand. The author also brings to us some of his own experiences, in this challenging time in our history. Fast paced and full of action and drama, this raw and powerful story takes you on a journey into the jungles, villages, and hamlets of Vietnam, and the men in the thick of the fight. The new fourth edition has new details to more accurately reflect the tour of soldiers in the Vietnam war. The author dedicates this story and all of his work to our Veterans and those that serve to protect our freedom today.

Story
The rumblings of war in distant countries mattered little to Danny McClain. Growing up in Chicago, his world revolved around afterschool jobs, a rescued beagle, his pen pal in Holland, and the Cubs' chance to go to the World Series. Then, in December of 1941, news of the attack on Pearl Harbor hit much too close to home. In a few years, Danny found himself in the copilot seat of a B-17, stationed with the 390th Bomb Group in Framlingham, England.

Gerber's men now have a new mission: go in with guns blazing . . . and get out alive.

Story
On November 18, 1967, Private First Class Davis' artillery unit was hit by a massive enemy offensive. At 21 years old, he resolved to face the onslaught and prepared to die. Soon he would have a perforated kidney, crushed ribs, a broken vertebra, his flesh ripped by beehive darts, a bullet in his thigh, and burns all over his body. Ignoring his injuries, he manned a two-ton Howitzer by himself, crossed a canal under heavy fire to rescue three wounded American soldiers, and kept fighting until the enemy retreated.

When I returned home from my latest deployment in the U.S. Army, my life began to fall apart. One night, after heavy drinking, I placed my 1911 pistol in my mouth and thought a prayer—silence. I deactivated the safety and began to slowly squeeze the trigger. BANG! I dropped the pistol, and I looked around me, but there was no blood. The bang I heard was the Bible on my desk falling and hitting the floor. I fell to my knees and asked God for forgiveness. I surrendered to Jesus Christ and asked him to help me. He answered.

Story
Things I’ll Never Forget is the story of a young high school graduate in 1965 who faces being drafted into the Army or volunteering for the Marine Corps. These are his memories of funny times, disgusting times and deadly times. The author kept a journal for an entire year; therefore many of the dates, times and places are accurate. The rest is based on memories that are forever tattooed on his brain. This is not a pro-war book, nor is it anti-war. It is the true story of what the Marine Corps was like in the late 1960’s.

It was the last-chance moment of the war. In January 2007, President George W. Bush announced a new strategy for Iraq. He called it "the surge". "Many listening tonight will ask why this effort will succeed when previous operations to secure Baghdad did not. Well, here are the differences," he told a skeptical nation. Among those listening were the young, optimistic Army infantry soldiers of the 2-16, the battalion nicknamed the Rangers.

Then upon returning home, these young soldiers do not want to talk about their experiences. Family and friends allege they are now distant, changed, and not the same person they remember from several months earlier. What causes this? Although the backdrop for this novel is the Vietnam War, "cherries" exist in every war.

Story
Every now and then a work comes along that is so simple and refreshing in its originality that it immediately captures the spirit of American fighting men throughout the ages. Such is this work by Bob Babcock. What makes this work unique is that it is based upon his wartime writing as it occurred, without the softening of time and the refining of modern memory applied to past experience. In it you will find the thinking of a young officer as he struggles to take in all that he is responsible for while experiencing everything himself for the first time.

In three straight years he was a paratrooper, an army seaman, and a LRRP - and he lived to tell about it. As an FNG paratrooper in the 173d Airborne, John Leppelman made that unit's only combat jump in Vietnam. Then he spent months in fruitless search of the enemy, watching as his buddies died because of poor leadership and lousy weapons. Often it seemed the only way out of the carnage in the central highlands was in a body bag. But Leppelman did get out.

Story
Things I’ll Never Forget is the story of a young high school graduate in 1965 who faces being drafted into the Army or volunteering for the Marine Corps. These are his memories of funny times, disgusting times and deadly times. The author kept a journal for an entire year; therefore many of the dates, times and places are accurate. The rest is based on memories that are forever tattooed on his brain. This is not a pro-war book, nor is it anti-war. It is the true story of what the Marine Corps was like in the late 1960’s.

Story
Robin Moore became one of the first true embedded journalists by training with and fighting alongside the Green Berets in Vietnam. Though fictionalized, his work is an eye-opening exposé of the horrors of the Vietnam War and the basis for the hit John Wayne movie of the same title. Taut, fast-paced, and interspersed with unforgettable accounts of combat, Moore’s novel features an American major who goes "native" with Montagnard tribesmen, a courageous Vietnamese girl who poses as a rabid anti-American Communist to capture a murderous Viet Cong officer, and the unforgettable acts of courage of soldiers in the field.

A great look into the not so great war in Vietnam
It all seems so long ago now, but this books reminds of of why we were there and how the US soldier on the ground were and are still heroes.

Baskerville Book Reviews
It’s a good thing the story was interesting, ’cause the narrator was terrible. Every line read in the same dull, boring, lifeless tone of voice. He could put an insomniac to sleep. He managed to do a few different voices and accents, they were barely passable at best, but equally as boring. The narrator kept saying “O-700 hours” or “O-800 hours”, I can’t believe I have to bring this up so often; O isn’t a number. Something I found to be even more insufferable was how he kept mispronouncing words. “Farmiliar” isn’t a word and “rations” doesn’t have a y in it. There were a few times when I had to stop to figure out what he was trying to say.
As for the story itself, it was well-told and coherent. It went into graphic detail territory from time to time, which might scare away some, but it’s a war memoir, what would you expect? It’s sad at times, emotional and heartbreaking, and infuriating at others. It’s an interesting read (skip the audiobook), but it tries too heavily to paint the U.S. in a good light. It reads like a pro-U.S. propaganda memoir.
Issues I take with the story itself are how a few characters are talking about how the soldiers are fighting for their freedom. I don’t, nor will I ever hero-worship people who invade foreign countries and murder their civilians, while our own government restricts our so-called freedoms, then praise them for saving our freedoms, which they didn’t do. Another issue is the constant use of military terms without any sort of glossary. I know 0700 hours refers to the time of day and LZ is landing zone, but there were many others I wasn’t aware of.
Finally, if this is the revised edition, why is it that the author kept referring to a venomous snake as poisonous? Venom is injected, and poison is consumed. At one point, the doc sucks out the venom from a soldier’s snake bite which is an incredibly stupid and dangerous thing to do. If you have a sore or cut in your mouth or throat, that snake venom will be poison. I feel a note should have been made if this actually happened, and if not, this incredibly stupid idea should have had a warning next to it.
If you’re looking for an unbiased and honest history lesson on what went down in Vietnam, this isn’t the place. I think it’s interesting and worth a read if you go in aware that it reads like pro-U.S. filtered propaganda that paints the U.S. soldiers as heroes. I personally recommend the book “A True History of the United States: Indigenous Genocide, Racialized Slavery, Hyper-Capitalism, Militarist Imperialism and Other Overlooked Aspects of American Exceptionalism“. It’s a much more honest history lesson about what the U.S. has been up to these last few hundred years. While it’s not about Vietnam specifically, it doesn’t read like propaganda.
