Introduction

     The glossary purposely has been placed in the beginning of this book instead of the end, as is customary. The author has written this book about his experiences in the Vietnam War in the military language of 1960 to 1975, partly in an attempt to capture the feelings and spirit of those times. We routinely used these words, abbreviations, and acronyms. During preparation of the book, several helpful readers have remarked that they did not understand some of the terms. Unless the reader has at least some military background, the author suggests a review of the glossary before the book is read. Veterans of that war probably will wonder why a glossary is included.
