Ordinary Courage
Little did I realize that such a narrative existed, enjoyed very much. As a combat enlisted Marine in Vietnam 1967-68 one could see the comparison ( not as dreadful as Martin) as to to the needs of lower ranked personnel. How certain supplies were diverted by higher ranked officials and sold to Vietnamese officials, which in turn some sold back to us at a huge profit.
I travel around Maine, New Hampshire and may look up the location of JPM's grave.
