What would you do if you were driving a tank through the Vietnam jungle and a huge orange spider landed on your face?
What happens when you cook with high explosives?
What do you do when the tank you are riding in sinks out of sight in a mud bog?
The answer to these questions, and many more you would never think would happen during a war, are in this entertaining book about some of the funny incidents that has happened to Roger W. Williams during the year he spent as a tanker in the Vietnam war.
