SCARRED

A young boy at just 17 enters a man's world to combat foreign and domestic enemies of the US Constitution and Democracy. Times were bad at home in 1971, so I volunteered with the USMC.
Vietnam was reaching a new height since the TET Offensive. Carpet bombing from B-52 strategic aircraft was around the clock offensive on the North Vietnamese region. Problems stateside were boiling over, and there was a young Marine (myself) exposed vehemently to the morally corrupt mid-level Noncommissioned Officer who exploited me through sexual assault while I dozed aspiring to get some badly needed shuteye.
