Online Book: Cannon Fodder: Growing Up For Vietnam
A Vietnam War veteran's experience
Complete text online

Abraham Lincoln made famous these words:

"The victor writes the history of the war."

An unknown war veteran made truthful these words:

"The first rule of war has always been that war cannot be declared
won until the invading foot soldier subdues his enemy and
verifies all resistance has been completely eliminated."

Phill Coleman, Vietnam veteran, added these words:

"If the above time and experience proven rule is still
considered valid, then America, indisputably, lost the
war in Vietnam. "
-- Phill Coleman, Author

The author takes you through pre-Vietnam training, war preparation, and a full
tour of duty in Vietnam. Photos. A must read!
