He was a door gunner in a LOACH so I doubt it. He was 1st of the 9th, so yeah, he did way more crap than you did. If you were even there. I never mock real service personnel. You though, strike me as a Walter Mitty type. Too many inconsistencies. The fact that you deride me for "mocking" your service, and then engage in that very same behavior with people you have no clue about, tells me a whole bunch about your character...and it ain't good.
And wrapping your BS in patriotism is laughable. It is unpatriotic to burn the flag. It is unpatriotic to support enemies of this country, questioning your service is far from unpatriotic. Especially when there are so many asshats claiming service who never did.
You don't know diddly about "character" or anything else, loser. Claiming you hang out with Viet Vets is comical....none of us have anything to do with leftist pieces of shit like you. What you believe or don't believe means nothing to me or anybody else here...you're a joke.
FYI to readers.... the LOACH was a small, speedy observation and bait bird with little or no use for a door-gunner. It's major role was as a spotter and flying low over the canopy to draw fire so the trailing Cobra could follow on and eliminate the battery....it was replaced by the Kiowa.

What were those pairings called? As far as door gunners not being necessary, they inflicted more casualties on the enemy than almost any other source. Some claim they did more than the gunships, though I doubt that. They certainly did more than any leg outfit.
