What was your first impression of Vietnam?
All I could see out here was Vietnam! I could see Vietnamese people doing things – working – working on the base or out there in the fields or something. What they thinking, what’s going on, what’s it like to be there. The whole time I was there if I am riding in a truck or jeep in the road and look at the people and all the pastel houses you know, and you know I wanted to know more about it. I wanted to get in the society. It fascinated me and I liked it. And I liked the people I met.
You meet some people who are sleazeballs, and you also of course meet people who are trying to kill you but I liked it, I liked the place. I liked almost all my contact with the people which wasn’t a hostile contact. I liked it.
