“LONG DAZE AT LONG BINH”

1966 ad for the Ronson Comet butane lighter. Must have been a hell of an ad campaign since Steve got two of 'em for Christmas, both sent to him in Nam. The only 2 gifts he received that year— what are the odds?

NOTE: This book is not about

combat. It's a lighthearted

but information-packed look

at what life was like for some

of the 2.5 million American non-combatants who spent

a year in Vietnam but rarely

(if ever) found it necessary

to pull a trigger.
