All over the world, Special Forces, Vietnam, South America, Africa, Iraq, Afghanistan, South Asia, Turkey, Taiwan, Belgium, Luxembourg....50 years is a long time.

Iowa was a great pheasant state at the time, and I had trouble convincing people it was worth the effort to hunt woodcock and grouse in Iowa. (No longer worth the effort for grouse, unfortunately.) We were all looking for an excuse to get away from the books from time to time.
