The Folks Back Home Won't Believe This: Memoirs of a Concerned Officer ROTC to Vietnam

"The Folks Back Home Won't Believe This" chronicles the unconventional military experiences of Tom Finton. His honest portrayal of military training and his unique perspective on Army life during the Vietnam War era will amuse, maybe even surprise, you. Commissioned out of ROTC, he was a Second Lieutenant Company Commander at Fort Bragg where he battled Army bureaucracy and protested the war. Finton served in Vietnam after the Nixon Administration implemented its policy of Vietnamization. His stories aren't the run of the mill humping through the boonies stories. He didn't wade through rice paddies. In fact, he never fired his rifle except on the target range. "The Folks Back Home Won't Believe This" is a fresh look at a familiar subject. Revised 2013. Now includes two new chapters.
