Most men who fought in Vietnam just wanted to get it over with and to go home.

But not this combat soldier.

He liked it there. He liked what he learned to do because he did it well. How he did it and why he did it is important. It is especially important to all soldiers who were there because in the beginning he was no different. But what he learned from Bummer saved his life repeatedly. He liked everything about what he did. He liked it so much he kept extending his time to be there. He put six years in Nam; four of them in combat. If you were there you may have known him. If you did you probably knew the Bummer too. If you knew them both then you know what he did and what he got for doing it.

Those of you who have read this author before know he doesn’t mince words. He writes it the way it was so tightly that before you know it you the reader think you’re the one caught between the machine-gun bursts. Well, you can expect that here. This 18,000 word true short story takes you through only the most exciting moments in this combat soldier’s 6 years in Vietnam. Author Burgess wastes no words telling readers exactly how this soldier overcame the usual obstacles and lived to win his war in Nam…and how he survived being back in the world after Nam.

Longer books with more details have been written about this fellow but none of them get to the heart of who he was faster and with more action-filled moments than this one does.
Lots of fast-action shooting and flying lead in this one, so you better fasten your seat belt.
