About this product

Product Information

"Morning was always a welcome sight to us.It meant two things. The first was that we were still alive. . . ." In 1967, death was the constant companion of the Marines of Hotel Company, 2/5, as they patrolled the paddy dikes, mud, and mountains of the Arizona Territory southwest of Da Nang. But John Culbertson and most of the rest of Hotel Company were the same lean, fighting Marines who had survived the carnage of Operation Tuscaloosa. Hotel's grunts walked over the enemy, not around him. In graphic terms, John Culbertson describes the daily, dangerous life of a soldier fighting in a country where the enemy was frequently indistinguishable from the allies, fought tenaciously, and thought nothing of using civilians as a shield. Though he was one of the top marksmen in 1st Marine Division Sniper School in Da Nang in March 1967--a class of just eighteen, chosen from the division's twenty thousand Marines--Culbertson knew that against the VC and the NVA, good training and experience could carry you just so far. But his company's mission was to find and engage the enemy, whatever the price. This riveting, bloody first-person account offers a stark testimony to the stuff U.S. Marines are made of.

A Sniper in the Arizona
Having been a Corpsman with the 1st. MarDiv from July '67 thru July '68 and seeing a good friends picture on the cover I was excited to read this book. I was disappointed with my friends real name only being written once, with an odd name many times after. The discription of Marine life in Viet Nam was in my view very accurate and well written. The chapters on Marine Sniper school became very selfcentered, long and boring. The discription of, "rear areas", was untrue and showes the authors love for himself, there were no, "rear areas", in a Marines Viet Nam.

Gambit play
I was there on the sand bar, and it never should have happened!! We could have reduced the VC position before we started the crossing. We were used as a Gambit play to keep the VC there so we could kill more of them than they killed of us. A battle of attrition is for crap!
