Sobre IBD

Draftee (A Buffoon in Vietnam) is the mostly true tale of a young man’s days in the U.S. Army from October 1968 to September, 1970. Draftee is a story filled with dark humor, deep irony, life and death in combat, the author’s reflections on his role as a grunt in Vietnam and finally, his days at Schofield Barracks. This is not a tale writ large on world affairs, instead is the story of a man caught up in forces he could not control.
