Real life aint like the movies for sure. When I was in Vietnam
on patrol, my unit took some rifle fire. I was lying behind a log
when a sniper round nicked the brim of my helmet and struck
me in the right foot. It exited the bottom of my boot. We
couldn't get a Medevac for 12 hours or so. In that short time
the wound got infected. I had surgery the next day to try and
repair the broken bones and damaged tendons. Needless to
say that episode ended my Army career. To this day it still
causes me considerable pain. God bless the medics. They
were there when I needed them the most.
