While my sample group is small, every fucking tunnel rat I ever met was crazy. Like, off the wall, bugshit bonkers lol. Zero fucks given about anything.
One of them said, “man, if I hadn’t been a little fucked up, I never would have done it. But if I hadn’t been fucked top when I started, I sure as fuck would have after the first one.”
I was born in the 70’s. I’ve met a lot of vets but never met a tunnel rat. I only met one helicopter door gunner.
I found out later, they didn’t last long. That’s why i only met one.
Nice guy but he never left the war. He lived in his car but had plenty of money. He threw newspapers for a living back when you could make a living doing it.

Considering what their job was, I would be more worried about the ones that aren’t completely whacko.

Tunnel rats typically were mostly if not all volunteers. So that makes sense.
Exactly!
