Interesting, because 1966 was still early days. "Apocalypse" was about a much later time, when they had surfboards and cold beer and Playboy Bunnies visiting the troops. They had also given up on the war and only the hard-guy lifers like Lt. Col. Bill Kilgore were still gung-ho.

The Col Kurtz character was partly based on an Australian Army guy - JDK 17:57:08 05/30/20 (0)
Dad knew him. He was was based in Laos, recruiting a "private" army in the villages and lived with a pet tiger...
So there was plenty of crazy already going on there in the early/mid 60's.

BTW, the Australian troops had plenty of beer. Apparently it was the preferred trade for American stores and munitions.
