    I'm Cold War era Infantry, I grew up reading about you guys in MAC-V SOG, and in the Air Cav, and the light infantry. It's amazing to get to hear you guys tell your story first hand all these years later.
    Thanks for your service.

    I also had experienced an encounter with one of those centipedes while in Vietnam. Fortunately a guy had this one in a screen cage. Very venomous and huge. This one was at least a foot long. Just one of many weird things I had the opportunity to see while on my tour over there.

    I can 1000% verify that the jungles of Vietnam have centipedes larger than anything any American will find exploring our national parks. Actually found the centipede I’m referring to at the Cu Chi Tunnels site.

    We have giant red-headed centipedes in Missouri and there was a guy camping here that had one walk across his chest while he was asleep. Apparently their legs/feet do carry a small amount of venom, and because of the proximity to his heart it actually did kill him just by walking on him. Terrifying creatures those centipedes are....
