Summary:
"Jerry Hall's spiral into the Vortex continues with Volume II of Yes Sir, Yes Sir, 3 Bags Full! As a Forward Air Controller (FAC) in the Viet Nam War, Jerry's journey takes him from innocence and a profound sense of pride in wearing his uniform to the depths of despair, self-loathing, and grief. In Volume II, Jerry tells the story of his rapid decline into alcohol abuse and dangerous living. In doing so, he offers a heart-wrenching account of what it was like to fight a war that was a source of both anger and protest among many American citizens of the era. This book, as well as Volume I, is a must-read for anyone who is interested in history and the military, and how post-traumatic stress disorder impacts survivors of trauma and their loved ones."--Amazon.com.
