Audio Books →Welcome to Vietnam, Macho Man Reflections of a Khe Sanh Vet (Audiobook)

This is hands down the most heartbreaking and thought-provoking book about Khe Sanh and even the Vietnam War you will ever have the honor to explore. Other books are easier to understand, yet none of them will leave you a believer in the way that this book has. Seldom is the author so true to himself and the memory of those lost that he is willing to blind others with their own tears and shame rather than sacrifice what he knows to be the true story.
At the very end, the author, Ernest Spencer, was faced with having to identify a casualty from his battalion. He says, "Rodriguez is gone, and I am still here. Why? Am I but a witness? I feel fear wash through me. They die while I watch. Whom should I tell? Who will care? How long will they care?"
You will find some rather colorful language and the haunting truth. Please listen to the audiobook. It will probably make you feel uncomfortable. Good! It should. If for even a few moments you feel you have suffered from hearing about such waste and suffering, then take a few more moments and try to imagine first living the story and then laying it down on paper. It is our debt to listen to this audiobook, in honor of those who have given more than we can ever imagine. And to remember what really mattered: the men and women who served and sacrificed for a country that has remained ungrateful.
This audiobook is full of heart and soul - bare naked anger, hate, suffering, and despair. You will feel the weight of the war in Vietnam in your hands. You will find some rather colorful language and the haunting truth.
