rock 'n' rollers

:21:06
How old are you?

The machinist,
the one they called Chef,

:21:12
was from New Orleans.
:21:13
He was wrapped too tight
for Vietnam...

:21:16
probably wrapped too tight
for New Orleans.

:21:19
Lance was a famous surfer
:21:21
from the beaches south of L.A.
:21:24
To look at him,
:21:25
you wouldn't believe
he'd ever fired a weapon.

:21:30
Clean--Mr. Clean--was from
some South Bronx shit hole.

:21:34
I think the light
and space of Vietnam

:21:36
really put the zap
on his head.

:21:41
Then there was Phillips,
the chief.

:21:44
It might have been
my mission,

:21:46
but it was
the chief's boat.

:21:48
There's about two points
:21:49
where we can get
into the Nung River.

:21:52
They're both hot.
:21:54
They belong to Charlie.
:21:56
Don't worry about it.
:21:59
I don't smoke.
:22:02
I pulled a few
special ops in here.

:22:05
About six months ago,
:22:07
I took a man
who was going up

:22:09
past the bridge
at Do Lung.

:22:13
He was regular army, too.
:22:17
I heard he shot
himself in the head.

:22:29
[ It's the Central Highlands AFVN ]
:22:31
[ Man, it's really hot ]
:22:35
Good morning, Vietnam.
:22:36
I'm Army Specialist
Zack Johnson on AFVN.

:22:39
It's 82 degrees
in downtown Saigon

:22:41
and also very humid.
:22:43
We have
an important message

:22:45
from the mayor of Saigon.
:22:47
Yeah!
:22:48
Hang your laundry indoors
:22:50
instead of
on the window sills.

:22:52
The mayor wants you to
keep Saigon beautiful.

:22:55
Here's another blast
from the past

:22:57
going out to Big Sam
:22:59
who's with 1st Battalion,
35th Infantry.
