About this listen
We were building schools for poor Vietnamese villages. The Viet Cong didn't like that. So their efforts to stop us were furious. Their frustration at their inability to ambush us led them to place a bounty on my head. I was the only army officer within 50 miles to have this dubious distinction. But it served to remind us that what we were doing was working!
By the way, I was the first US army captain to ever be awarded the Legion of Merit.

Cut & Paste Virtual Voice Failure
There is some good material here, but it's redundant, sometimes repeating large segments. The parts read by natural voice are good and enjoyable; those by "Virtual Voice" not so much. The virtual voice reading is staccato with strange pauses and hilarious mispronunciations. E.g. ".50 cal." comes out as "50 California" gun and other times "50 calories" gun. Dates are read like numbers. E.g., "In one thousand nine hundred sixty seven..." instead of just saying "nineteen sixty-seven." The many mispronunciations are quite distracting. This edition is in serious need of editing and a reader.

The book repeated itself.
The artificial intelligence (AI) mispronounced or didn’t know what abbreviations meant. A good example was instead of 50 cal (caliber), it said 50 California or 50 calorie!
