Bradfield Thu, 10 Feb 2011 17:38:59 +0000 #comment-458496 For the record, I did not misspell Vietnam in this update. Beside my book, The Blue Spaders, Vietnam, which General Gorman used excerpts from. I have written a script entitled, The Blue Spaders, recommended by people in the film industry and floating around Hollywood. No one has made a movie about guys like us who sailed over as a unit and learned this new war OJT (Vietnam as we know it today hadn't happened yet). As a columnist for Veteran Magazine in Tampa, FL, I also write articles I call Lighter Moments in Vietnam (we did gag it up some). Something on the humorous side (verse all the doom and gloom). Thank you. Carl Bradfield For the record, I did not misspell Vietnam in this update. Beside my book, The Blue Spaders, Vietnam, which General Gorman used excerpts from.
