Several of us officers took turns flying with them. On one of the days I was not flying, the ship went down, and one of my fellow officers was killed.

it is time to wake up to reality . . .
The night is nearly over, the day has almost dawned. . . .
Let us arm ourselves for the fight of the day!

The last guy who had held my job had just been court-martialed along with five other Green Beret officers who had allegedly crossed a few lines of their own—such as murdering a triple agent. I was the Group Intelligence Operations Officer. In many ways it was a great  job. The Berets’ AO (area of operation) was essentially the entire country. I was responsible for briefing “the old man,” Col. “Iron Mike” Healy, on the enemy situation around our A-Team camps from the Delta in the south to the DMZ in the north. Very few young captain…
