Warrior Podcast #37 - Surviving 13 Months in Vietnam with William Taylor Jr.

Can you imagine being 18 years old and fighting in the jungles, tunnels and fields of Vietnam? Author and Veteran William Taylor Jr. shares some of the horrific stories of being a combat Marine in the war in Vietnam.

It took him 50 years to write his book On Full Automatic: Surviving 13 Months in Vietnam.

Book Summary:

Eighteen-year-old Marine recruit William V. Taylor, Jr. and his brother Marines are assembled into a new reaction force that is immediately tested in the fire of a bloody conflict known as Operation Beaver Cage. After a traumatic first fight, they push through back-to-back operations with little time to rest or reflect. Those who survive will return home ensnared by everlasting memories of a real but entirely surreal nightmare.

Now, after more than 50 years of holding everything in, Taylor shares his experience in explicit—and often horrific—detail and with a reverent honor for those Marines who did not live to tell the tale. Taylor reveals what it truly means to walk the path of a warrior, to sacrifice, and to live a lifetime with the memories of a war—seeking answers to the question, “Was it worth it?"
