Department of Explanation.  "Tiger Papa Three," the story of how I lost the war as a combined action Marine in Vietnam in 1967, was first published in the January and February 1988 issues of Marine Corps Gazette.  There were certain human-interest facets of the Vietnam experience I couldn't include in a professional military journal. I have now included those facets in my book Tiger Papa Three: Memoir of a Combined Action Marine (McFarland Books). The cover image above is a link to ordering information.
