Product description...

Police enforce regulations and laws. However, some situations in war zones don't fit perfectly inside the lines. Follow the ongoing challenges that one MP faces as he grapples with gray areas between right and wrong in Vietnam.

Randy asked, “So, are you developing a different perspective?” Ben reflected. “I’m still figuring it out. I’m trying to understand these people instead of dismissing them as gooks." Randy noted, "That goes against the grain. Are you having a change of heart toward the Vietnamese?” “Not yet, but I don’t hate them, either. I want to learn something besides what our Drill Sergeants taught us.” Randy cautioned, “Open-mindedness isn’t encouraged in the military.” Ben insisted, "I'm holding my judgment of the Mice until I've had more time to see them in action." Freddie said, “That’s the decent thing to do. Too bad more people aren’t as open-minded.” Ben stretched out on his bunk. I should take more time before jumping to conclusions about these Vietnamese. I suppose they're just like us, not wanting to be judged or hated just because they're different. Freddie's right about respect being a fundamental human right.

Author Information...

Ben Thieu Long (pseudonym) was born in Chicago and spent a couple of unsuccessful years in college before being drafted into the U.S. Army in 1969. Ben’s experience in Vietnam profoundly challenged his self-identity and foundational beliefs. He returned home a drastically changed young man. However, he also developed the strength and resilience to persist in the face of adversity. Insights gleaned from his experience reshaped his courage and moral determination. He learned an important lesson about choices and responses: While a person may not always make wise decisions, they can grow and mature. Ben returned to college as a more focused student. He completed his B.A. in Sociology, earned a master’s degree, and had a successful human resources career in manufacturing, higher education, and healthcare for more than four decades. Ben effectively led organizational change and served as an inspirational role model for many facing difficult workplace challenges. He also coached individuals to overcome troublesome life circumstances and rebound as emotionally and mentally robust members of society.
