I damn near lived on top wikipedia of a mountain. By doing all this, I fully intended on making wikipedia a statement to my family and to my country on my willingness to die for democracy and any other ideals that found their way onto my shining armor like pieces of lint clinging to a new wool suit. My ultimate assignment in a combat support role made me feel like a helpless observer when I could have wikipedia been doing something of real significance to more directly help those in combat. I was assigned to a destroyer, an old Tin Can, on WESPAC tour Vietnam from February to October 1969. The ship's log has many entries merely labeled "special operations" when we carried and escorted a number of unique characters as well as ELINT (electronic intelligence) gear for close-in sweeps to monitor activity, and I guess just generally to piss the North Vietnamese off.
