HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted January 26, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted January 26, 2010 The EM clubs all over served anyone who had cash to pay for their drinks. I have a problem with not allowing any service member to drink no matter what their age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt Schmidt Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 How about the EM clubs in Vietnam. They poured out the alcohol to anyone who walked in the door. US law in 1969 said you could not drink until you were 21. The Army served alcohol to us 19 year olds until we were so drunk we could not walk. If you were at some big military base you could get drunk every night of the week as long as you showed up for work. The military smiled on alcoholism, but tried to smash the guy who smoked a joint. The military was full of drunks back in the day. The army condoned drinking alcohol, and yet they punish those who become alcoholics. Drugs poured onto American bases during the last days of the Vietnam war. I see it as an environmental hazard like AO. I remember people telling me the white powder in the little bottles was "coke" and harmless fun. That was until a guy from Philly told me it was heroin. I knew many junkies in Vietnam who never even got close to hard drugs in the World. Many of those poor guys got stuck with undesireable discharges because they failed a piss test. Nobody tested for the alcohol that was embalming the senior NCO's and officers. Maybe that's why I look so young at 60 years old. :) Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
