Episode 114: Dale Oilar | This bullet had my name on it. What I saw in the Vietnam war.

Back in 1970, my next guest, Dale Oilar, now 71 years old, was drafted into the US Army at the ripe old age of 19. He said it's the only lottery he ever won. He served two years in the miltary and one of those years was in the Vietnam War. Join us as we do a deep dive into the life of an infantry sniper, the things he saw, the things he endured, the things he had to do to survive while fighting the dark side of communism. We talk about the horrors of war, the amazing men he served with and the damage the media, hollywood and politicians did to these great American heros.
