Hanoi Hannah has died at 85 -- any Vietnam vets on here have any stories?

Trinh Thi Ngo, a soft-spoken radio announcer known as Hanoi Hannah who entertained American forces during the Vietnam War while trying to persuade them that the conflict was immoral, died on Friday in Ho Chi Minh City. She was believed to be 85.
quote:
Mrs. Ngo was born in Hanoi, the capital, in 1931, when Vietnam was a French colony. (Her exact birth date could not be learned, nor was there information on survivors.) She learned English from private tutors in the early 1950s — partly, she later recalled, because she loved watching Hollywood films like “Gone With the Wind.”
“I always preferred American movies to French films,” she said in an interview with The New York Times in 1994. “The French talked too much. There was more action in American movies.’’
quote:
Her broadcasts aimed at United States forces began in 1965, and she was still on the air in 1975, when North Vietnam captured Saigon, the South Vietnamese capital, and renamed it Ho Chi Minh City.
quote:
Mrs. Ngo’s broadcasts included music by Pete Seeger, Joan Baez and other antiwar American folk singers, and she took a friendly approach to her listeners, Mr. Thuy said. But beneath her gentle tone, he added, was a steely confidence in the North Vietnamese cause.
Nguyen Van Vinh, a Vietnamese cameraman who filmed Mrs. Ngo’s meeting the actress and antiwar activist Jane Fonda in Hanoi in 1972, said Mrs. Ngo had “talked in a whisper to the G.I.s.”

Not a vet, but I went to Vietnam a couple years ago. It's a very beautiful and interesting place. Would like to go back.

I've got a good Vietnam story. It isn't about me, but it's about my dear Uncle Terry. Now Uncle Terry was never a popular man, even by those he worked with. You've probably heard of a man abandoning his battalion, but I doubt you've heard of a battalion abandoning a man.
One morning Uncle Terry wakes up in the middle of Da Nang all alone. All his battalion left him were 3 bottles of Jack Daniels and some weaponry. Uncle Terry then chugs one of the bottles of Jack Daniels and throws it in the middle of the jungle. So Terry takes the remaining 2 bottles of Jack, an M16, 2 pistols, and a couple of hand grenades and walks off into the unknown.
Eventually Uncle Terry came upon a village, and from the village came people. Now were these people Charlie or the people Uncle Terry was sent to protect from Charlie? Uncle Terry didn't know. But he knew he had to act.
So Uncle Terry takes out the second bottle of Jack Daniels and takes a swig, and then he pulls out his M16 as a farmer would wield a scythe. The bullets came flying. And as hay would fall in front of a farmer, so the people fell in front of Uncle Terry. The men, the women, and by god even the children.
Finally Uncle Terry stood alone in the mud and the blood and the guts with no one else left standing. Uncle Terry then opened the third bottle of Jack and he took a long swig. Then Uncle Terry's hand brushed against his leg, and he felt wetness. And then he felt shame because he realized he had pissed himself in fear. But upon closer inspection, it was not urine; it was ejaculate. And his shame was then replaced by pride.

Well I don't know, but I do know one thing: you don't frick with Terry when he's had some drink in him. If he's uncorked the jug, you stay away from Uncle Terry.
