It's that kinda thing that makes that book so interesting...it's
funny as hell..... and believable...

It's from the yet-to-be-released new book, coming out this fall. Don't
even have a title yet. I've proposed "Palace Cobra: Fascination With a
War" while the publisher wants, "Phantom Flights, Bangkok Nights: A
Combat Pilot's Return to Vietnam". (Palace Cobra was the name of the
USAF personnel policy on no involuntary second tours for aircrews in
Vietnam.)

I'm fortunate to have had some contributions for the book from a
number of ex-cons, some of the FOGs and some of the FNGs. (That's "old
guys" and "new guys"--those incarcerated from the early days of
Rolling Thunder and those short-term POWs shot down during
Linebacker.)
