Hello Evelyn,
Name here is Carl,
After one event near the DMZ, after killing a man, I had made my way
back to the ARVN OP at Gio Linh ( OP A-2 N of the village.
There in the dark, I had crawled into the tall grass waiting for sun rise to enter the OP. Laying there in the grass...I began to feel cold, colder and colder. I had drawn my weapon( M3A1) in hand up to use as a pillow.
But after a while my hand was so cold ( I was so cold that I pulled the weapon down and curled up around it, and put my hands between my legs.
I was shaking uncontrolable, keeping my teeth apart, and praying that God would let me sleep away the thoughts, ...and the terrable chill....
at some point I did fall asleep...
Later in tye sun I walked into A-2, The Vietnamese guards asked,
"Moore...where you go, where you been moore.."
I couldn't answer them...I could only poit in the general direction of where
I had been the night before. I just wanted to get the blood off of me, I wanted to cry, but walked on...numb to all but the feeling ...saddness
...I wanted to disappear from the world.
The ARVNs all thought I was brave...buut I was simply addicted to
adrenaline.... That time though... I got too much of it...
There were other events... but that was the only event that II tasted the mans blood, and still have some memory loss It was bloody awful...
....It was 90degF and humid, and the air heavy and dead calm...but I shook for hours !
That is my experence with Adrenialine Shock ..freeking awful
