On Harry's claim that as a citizen, he was hired by a general to go to
Vietnam and pick up bodies?

I don't know the details, but there *was* a civilian service doing exactly
that during the Vietnam war.

Learn something new daily! In my year over there, I'd never heard of them.
My brother, with almost three years in country, never heard of them either.

That lends a lot of credence to Harry's bull**** story.

There was also a civilian service spreading STD's, to servicemen,
especially on a saturday night. R&R

Oh man, could I tell you a story about that - Red Cross volunteers my
ass.

Hookers in Red Cross uniforms was more like it. :)

Are you referring to the Doughnut Dollies? I never heard that story either.

Good stories here lately.

It was the DIA, run at that time by Gen. Joe Carroll, the guy for whom I
worked. For a period of time, my job was to help locate KIAs and some
MIAs. We didn't pick up bodies. We located them. This was not the
civilian job for which I was recruited, but that job was eliminated.

Conveniently dead.

WAFL!

Heh - that's about the size of it. Kool Aid and plain stale donuts
with a little 'Merican for extra added flavor. :)

If I'm not mistaken, and I could be, it was a civilian department op
for the DIA directed by the DoD for some kind of intelligence ops.

I never heard of them either until 1970 or thereabouts when I ran into
a high school buddy who graduated a few years ahead of me - he worked
for the Defense Intelligence Agency and worked out of Saigon.

From what he told me, part of their intelligence work was to locate
MIAs and KIAs for recovery. Couldn't prove it by me, but he obviously
knew the area we operated in and was fairly conversant with the ops
that we carried off.

Like I said - dunno. Not saying Harry was involved in it or not, but
I know, if only because this guy had no reason to fabricate a story,
that it sounded true.
