I hitched a ride with a couple of Marines in a huge, open truck - they were headed for the air base and so was I. I'd never met these fellas and in short order, I'd wished I hadn't. While one of them drove the monster of a truck relentlessly thru the streets teeming with Vietnamese on foot or on bicycle, the bully, loudmouth partner stood at the rear of the truck - grabbing hats off people and them placing them on other folks heads a ways down the street. Laughing the whole time and screaming obscenities at them, he'd push folks over on their bikes and laugh his ass off as they toppled. Hanging off the rear of the truck, he'd try to kick civilians if they were unlucky enough to be too close. As I said, the street was jammed with pedal-powered traffic. I was truly ashamed to be an American in that moment - it felt much like I feel now - now that we've got a heartless, brainless clown as the flag-bearer of the USA.
