Some of @Maggot friends telling that story
I will say tho.... Wearing night vision when you haven't slept in over 36 hours....you will see some shit......
Complete BS. A friend of mine served 3 active combat tours over there and all he saw were, as he described, gooks.
Never heard of this shit ever. What a joke.
Lmao
Always been green….
Due to lack of sleep on a forced movement I remember seeing bats flying all around and dive bombing the patrol. But I had not slept in 40 some hours. Asked my buddy and he said "fuck no there's no bats".
So yeah..
So yeah..

Issued,... wearable,... w/a red back round, Bullshit. Someone was talking out of their ass because their mouth knew better. Please tell me what units back then, had such? Only thing I used & remember w/a red back round was the IR units mounted on a M3 carbine. And those were damn sure not wearable. Could you see weird shit in them, absolutely if you were doing Bangkok Brown, same as out the side of a bird in bright daylight.
They had what the "starlight" scope back then? I believe that's what Chuck Mawhinney got his big string of kills with.
From what I've read in books from guys that were there. It was a green hazy fog looking through it.
Pretty sure that story is BS

That scope was an AN/PVS 2. It was a cut above the IR on a M3, but only if it was not raining or no moon.
Seen a guy talk to a bush on a security halt...
Yeah the damn cat eyes on the back of HMMWVs are trippy as shit and the lack of depth perception is a mindfuck
Dehydration is a mofo too
Had a buddy go all loopy-loo from the heat/humidity and homey turned into a damn South Park character and swore he saw all the main characters until he passed out
I wouldn't trust anything that fucker says.
