Specific questions get specific answers. What kind of a Lieutenant? 1. An Air Force Lieutenant flying his first strike mission over North Vietnam might get shot down on his first mission. 2. An Army or Marine LT on staff duty in a large combat base in South Vietnam might get paper burns on his finger...but other wise he'll survive his 12 month tour in "the Nam." 3. A tank platoon leader (which is a Lieutenant's position in a tank company) might last only 1 fight. BECAUSE he's always got his head sticking out the tank commander's cupola conducting "Command & Control." A cupola is the tank commander's hatch (a little turret mounted upon the main turret).
