I went through basic in 1967 and served until ’71, but luckily never was shipped to Nam. My unfulfilled bucket list item is to go to Texas and piss on LBJ’s grave.

Wiki says that the Vietnam War started in 1955. That made it 19 years old in 1972, not 25.

Hi Dave--Thank you! I can't tell you how much I appreciate people helping me out with typos and any factual error. In this case, I'm going to consider how to reword the sentence. I actually meant that's how long military hostilities had been going on in Vietnam, not US involvement. I ended up being unclear since I was trying to be pithy in this intro. But I'll see if I can clarify that without being too wordy. Thank you again!
