Thursday, October 12, 1967.

Marine Lance Corporal Kevin Cahill stepped onto a trail deep in the remote Hai Lang National Forest of South Vietnam. Following Cahill were the 166 Marines of Charlie Company, First Battalion, First Marines, First Marine Division. Confident, well armed and ready to fight, their mission was to locate and annihilate any North Vietnamese Army forces they could find.

Cahill, a sharp and experienced point man, knew that taking the well-worn and ominous trail was a bad idea, but an order was an order and he led Charlie Company forward. It was a decision that would cost the 19-year-old his life. As he took a step to his left, toward a small knoll, Cahill walked right into the blast of a machine gun and the column of men he led suddenly faced decimating grenade and small- arms fire.

Rather than Charlie Company finding the enemy, the NVA, over two thousand men strong, had found Charlie Company. Surrounded, outnumbered, out-gunned, and quickly running out of ammunition, the Marines now faced annihilation and hell on earth under the jungle canopy.

Would the men of Charlie Company survive? How could they hope to beat back a vastly superior enemy force set on their complete destruction? Who would ever live to tell the tale of the “Lions of Medina”?

At first the recounting of the history of the young Marines as they entered the Corps was a little tedious but by the end I appreciated it It made these brace young men alive in my mind and resulted in real tears z’when they died They weren’t statistics; or names in a wall; they were real people who I wished could have lived I liked especially the commentary at the end on the feelings of the survivors on the lose of friends, their treatment after returning, the outrageous rules of engagement that made the war un-winnable Worthy listen

Good listen

I think it makes you think about how precious life is! It wasn’t their fault physically that they were in Vietnam, because there’s always gonna be war and they were young and thought they’d make a difference, mentally!!
After they got there, then they KNEW they were there physically, emotionally and mentally!! Then reality hit them and they became men real quick!!

The people at home in the US were brainwashed and in allot of ways so was those fighting in Vietnam!! So both had similar feelings by listening and being pumped by media and the government!!

Brotherhood

I myself a Marine knows what it takes to become a Marine. You are not going to some summer camp to lay around and play with the girls. Not all people are cut out for this type of commitment. My first two weeks in bootcamp we lost 20 to 30 recruits not being able to take the punishment. This book makes me feel proud of being a Marine. The story is more than a Marine company fighting in Vietnam. It’s about a brotherhood and sacrifice for each other. You don’t fight for that flag when it comes down to it. You fight for that Marine to your left and to your right. And I will close by saying those Marines singing the Marine Corps hymn while getting killed and wounded says it all. Very good book.

US Marines are tough as nails.
