Much has been discussed America's warfare in Vietnam, and an long lasting and troubling subtext is the structure of your body of soldiers that made the united states troop deployment: from the at first well-trained and disciplined band of largely elite units that offered in the mid-sixties to what has been termed an "armed mob" by the finish of that decade and into the early 1970s. Drug use, insubordination, racial antagonism that often became violent, theft and black market dealing, and even "fragging" (murder of officials and senior noncoms by disgruntled troops) marred the record of the united states military presence. Don Griffis offered in twin jobs. He was a legal official, charged at various times with the duty of both defending and prosecuting servicemen. At the same time he led battle patrols in "search and demolish" missions contrary to the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese enemy. Eagle Times is a impressive bill of Griffis' personal record of experiencing the actual military must do best-meet, participate, and defeat the enemy-and what it becomes when esprit de corps, discipline, and a feeling of purpose decay.
