Thomas Hodge didn't expect to live long when he got to Vietnam. After he was assigned to a truck company, he heard that the life expectancy of a wartime truck driver was three days. At first, he took that remark for a joke; then he got to Vietnam and saw what a dangerous job he was in for: working 18 hour shifts, dodging enemy fire, and hoping that his truck, often loaded with explosives, didnt hit a land mine.
