In his book about the war Huey pilot
Robert Mason tells about how they used to
set their choppers down in a riverbank and
use buckets to wash out all the blood and
body bits.


Yup! Robert Mason's "Chickenhawk"



Good guy, sadly "damaged" by the
war as were so many vets. Divorce,
jobless, arrested for smuggling drugs
at the Mexico border. Don't even know
if he is still alive.

Yup! After 2 years in a Federal Pen he seems to still be alive. Now
77. He wrote a follow up "Chickenhawk: Back in the World" and at least
two novels.


The mandatory "Sentencing Guidelines" in federal
court are a travesty. I have seen judges quit the
bench rather than impose sentences that are clearly
unjust but now required by statute.
