steve1 5 #2 January 17, 2007 I new a U.S. soldier, who saved his bacon by clinging to a rope ladder below a helicopter after being wounded by a bullet in Vietnam. Apparently the jungle was too thick to land and the nearest LZ was a long way away, so they used a ladder. He was too weak to climb up, so they flew out of there with him dangling below. They also took enemy fire the entire time. I'm glad I missed out on all that....Steve1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
