Ran into a fellow veteran at the supermarket who was drafted out of college in 1970. We chatted about our experiences in the Nam. He later sent me a few pictures via email, one of which was LBJ, no, not the president but of the Long Binh Jail better known as LBJ. It was a stockade in the Long Binh army post, the largest US Army post in the world at the time. You didn't want to be incarcerated there. It was full of hardened druggies and criminals and it went on your dreaded "permanent record."
