The Book of Fives
The violence of war turned my body into a powder keg. Overrun by Vietcong on a fire support base near the Cambodian border brought about my first hand-to-hand combat of my tour. After being extracted by helicopter, worse problems began. Shot down and captured by the enemy and placed in a tunnel prison. B-52 bombers nearly buried me but actually were the catalyst for my escape. I returned home to realize that a pedophile's abuse to my family almost destroyed it. The abuse to my family lit the fuse. Drunk drivers took away family members and then my whole reason for living. This action by drunk drivers resulted in an explosion. It was time to set right some of the wrongs caused by a legal system that just doesn't work anymore. I traveled the entire United States in retribution.
