Kill Me if You Can - Account of the Vietnam War

By: Bobby Miller

Kill Me If You Can, You SOB...is a judicious and penetrating diary of one of America's greatest tragedies--the Vietnam War--and the soldiers who lived and died making it so. While it's illuminating, it's by no means a rah-rah account of the war. This work is a tour de force whose humor and candor is audacious. Simply dealing with the verity of it all makes this possibly one of the best non-fiction works to emerge out of the heartbreak known as the Vietnam War. Pictures/photos can be disturbing.

Kill Me If You Can, You SOB... is a non-fiction book about the 192nd Assault Helicopter Company at LZ Betty in Phan Thiet, during the Vietnam war and the 3d Battalion, 506th Infantry of the 101st Airborne Division. It's a book written by an ordinary soldier about three extraordinary soldiers; Lt. Colonel Manuel A. Alves (Black Hawk) with the 3-506th (Airborne) Infantry. And Chief Warrant Officer Richard Maxwell Arann and Warrant Officer Theodore Vail Thoman with the 192nd Assault Helicopter Company.

"War is only hell for those who return home to hell. Trust me kid, most of these warmongers have never fought for a damn thing other than status and media headlines. When George W. Bush said, 'Mission accomplished', he was talking about his mission, not yours." -Bob Miller (Send2Press 2003)

Bobby Miller: Born 1940, Florence, Alabama. He served with the 192nd Assault Helicopter Company from 1968-1969 during the Vietnam war; he was shot down twice and awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal. Miller is a 100 percent service connected disabled veteran.
