Lusthogs    Gus (right) and Bill Cheeley outside the ISO (Informational Services Office).        Rambo has "59 confirmed kills," first tour, and scores another 90 during the film, for a total of 149, not counting blood trails, civilians, and water buffalo.  My own score was perhaps more typical.  In Vietnam I fired more rounds than the Stonewall Brigade fired at the Battle of Gettysburg.  I was highly motivated, but my body count was a standing joke:  I killed as many of them as they did of me.  Looking back with flawless hindsight, I hope I hit nothing but trees, and I hope the trees lived.  If I did kill a human being in Vietnam, it was a tragic accident or self-defense; I regret it, but I do not apologize. --from "Vietnam Means Never Having To Say You're Sorry"         The Short-Timers  |  The Phantom Blooper  |  A Gypsy Good Time  |  Full Metal Jacket   |  Stories  |  Poems   Profiles  |  Interviews  |  Reviews  |   Book Theft  |  Obituaries  |  Remembrance  |  Photos  |  Links
