Gore and most of his family stayed in bed well past noon then waited out the
day at a hotel across from Vanderbilt University, where years ago he enrolled
in Divinity school to sort out inner conflicts over the five months he served
as an Army journalist in Vietnam.


yes...i heard that "shooting" pictures in saigon and long binh was a most difficult assignment.
we called them saigon warriors.
i wonder if gore uses the va hospital counseling system to get treatment for combat related post traumatic stress.

acceptance at divinity school is the only way i knew of of getting out of viet nam early...gore had 140 days of a normal 365 day tour...it would be interesting to know the date of his application to the school in relation to the date he got in country...what i would really like to know is who did his job...who served the other 225 days in country that gore missed.

hmmm...i just remembered there was another way to get out of country early...i suppose i shouldn't complain...on one of my trips, i only served 96 days in country...then i spent 101 days on R&R at zama hospital in japan...i got lead poisoning, but i didn't mean to.

2 months after that, i was back in country. but, i liked the beaches, the fishing, and the long mountain hikes.
