The Hump
The Hump: The 1st Battalion, 503rd Airborne Infantry, in the First Major Battle of the Vietnam War | Al Conetto
16 posts
Operation Hump, the first major battle between the U.S. Army and the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces, took place November 5-9, 1965, in South Vietnam's War Zone D. Known as "The Hump," it would change the nature of the war, escalating it from a hit-and-run guerrilla conflict to a bloody contest between Communist main force units and American commands of battalion size or larger. This memoir of an Operation Hump survivor begins with the sequence of events leading up to the battle, from the French defeat at Dien Bien Phu in 1954. Drawing on official Army documents and the recollections of fellow combatants, the author not only describes the battle in detail but explains the war's basis in fabrications at the highest levels of the U.S. government. His experiences with PTSD after the war and his eventual return to Vietnam in the 1990s are included.

📌 We went to Turks and Caicos in August. Beautiful! 📌 drinking coffee! 📌I love to read early in the evening, which often stretches to 10 or so. 📌 We are friendly with a few, but most are much younger than us. 📌 I will go back to an old favorite or I watch a movie that was a book, then I usually get interested in the book. #readingslump #humpdaypost

1. Live was my favorite band for ever. They disbanded for awhile, so Green Day is my other favorite, but Live is back together now.
2. Goodreads goal was originally 25. Now it‘s 100, and I might get there this month!
3. A couple hours on and off at work.
4. No. We were just ranked like 14th safest in the state. Work neighborhoods are a different story.
5. I was originally a music major in college but couldn‘t hang. #humpdaypost

Zelma I used to love Live! And still really like Green Day. 👍 6y

laurieluna Omg little baby bum 😣 my toddler has recently discovered this. It played by accident after watching Tee and Mo (actually good if you haven't seen them) and now he constantly asks for 'nursery rhymes on!' 😧 6y
winemom @miralunasbooknook I found more episodes on YouTube, thank god. They only have 2 episodes on Netflix and I was about to die from the repetitiveness. It‘s all mine will watch. 😩 6y

1) I had to find an English one first. Then I couldn't take one of the really rude ones, or one with that oversized carrot living in the White House - so these two.
2) Nothing out of the ordinary.
3) Veggies
4) green
5) deep fried mini snakes - in Bali, really small snakes that are caught on the rice fields. Luckily I was told a long time after I had eaten them what it was.
