"I was a medic in Vietnam for 8 months, 2 days, 6 hours, and 35 minutes (June 23 1972-Feb 25 1973). Most of the civilian population there were friendly, courteous, and wanted freedom...not all, but most.
One thing that made me feel safe at night was Puff...the C-130 Gunship. There were 2 that would circle the base every night, all night long. The lead 130 would drop flares...the trailing 130 would follow about a mile back watching the area lighted by the flares. Every few minutes, you could see a red ribbon of tracers arc to the ground...followed shortly by the brrrrrrrrrrrrrruuuuuuuuiiiiiip sound of the guns.
Even now, sometimes at night, I can close my eyes and still here those guns."
