Three months of bagging-and-tagging bodies during Vietnam s Tet Offensive took the luster off of being a Marine but not off McPartlin s desire to serve his country.\nAfter assisting in the sea recovery of Apollo 11 the first ship to bring men to the moon the twenty-year-old McPartlin was redeployed to Vietnam as an elite Navy SEAL. Barred as a medic from the make-or-break training of BUD\/S considered vital to service as a Navy SEAL, McPartlin had to show he had what it took.\nBut McPartlin had been in country before. In a war where you partied with your buddies in Saigon one day and crawled through an enemy-infested jungle hell the next, he proved that he was not only an outstanding medic but a real Navy SEAL the toughest of the tough.\nCombat Corpsman is McPartlin s often humorous account of his year in what had been a Viet Cong stronghold until the SEALs took control and Charlie placed bounties on the men with green faces. It s the first inside story of a Navy SEAL medic, a man who wanted to heal not to kill but did both to save lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44650588930101,"sku":"ByrdShop_0979435439","price":60.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_0979435439_d0ca92d7-d9cf-4dbb-9ff1-ad832f8d72d2.jpg?v=1784254624","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/combat-corpsman-a-navy-seal-medic-in-vietnam-9780979435430","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
