Description

Some Americans called them “Ruff-Puffs” and laughed at them. We called them our brothers and lived and fought alongside them every day in South Vietnam. These militia troops fought for freedom for their towns and families - and we fought with them. This is the story of a MAT team (5 American Army advisors) in one of the 244 Districts in South Vietnam and about our great militia counterparts.

Review by: Greg on Dec. 29, 2010 :
This is a great account of one full year in Vietnam, through the eyes of a real American soldier. It's the real story, without the Hollywood fluff and misrepresentations.

A must read for those who served, and those who did not!
