Default Sgt. Mike Viet Nam Humor

I received a scrap book from a fellow forum member. These are from Stars & Stripes and the author is Mike Hodgson. We thought they were good almost 50 years ago and still do. Several forum members think as I do, so here goes:

I’m glad Stars and Stripes kept up the tradition of irreverent cartoons so ably fulfilled by Bill Mauldin during WWII.

Please keep them coming.

There's a lot of them, full shows, too, on YouTube.

Those cartoons are reminiscent of the WWII cartoons with Willy & Joe,
by Bill Mauldin.

Yes, they are to a degree. They reflect their own times and values. Was there cartoons that applied to Desert Storm I or II, or Afghanistan?

It’s interesting they are carrying M-14’s. I always identify the AR with Vietnam—too many movies—and forget we started with the M-14.

PS. What’s the Viet Cong troop carrying in the first set of cartoons with the straight stick magazine?

Could be a reference to E.B. Sledge. He wrote "With The Old Breed at Peleliu and Okinawa". His nickname was "Sledgehammer". A good book have a copy.

A friend of mine still talks about how most of the Grunts were upset when they had to give up their M-14's.

No real answer for you other than that is the way the artist drew it. Since you can't see the muzzle end of the weapon it could be a Thompson. The VC had lots of odd ball weapons from WW II onwards.

It looks like a Finnish Suomi K-31. Maybe it got captured by the Russians in the Winter War of 1939-40 and sent to the VC when the Russians cleaned out their closets.

As long time US militaria collector, collected USMC 7.82 gear from WWII- Vietnam. Have a copy of “ The Devils Anvil” autographed by Sledge and few other Marines along with quite a few other good books on Marines in WWII. Also got paid by US Navy to display collection at air shows, the good ole days. Uniforms are original WWII USMC camo, A/C is made up one from the movie “ Tora, Tora,Tora, we knew the owner pilot.

I'm thinking Beretta 38/42, but there is only one trigger.

For those who were there, this book should bring back a lot of memories,

I was stationed at Phan Rang AB from 1970-71. I went TDY to Phu Cat during Lam Son 719 in 1971. Completely different environment than Phan Rang.

Was back in WestPac by Dec. of 71. When the war re escalated was back in Thailand and Da Nang, RVN for the rest of the year(1972). We would fly Da Nang turnarounds. Close Air Support from Nam Phong, Thailand (MCAS Rose Garden) to Da Nang and then another CAS after hot refueling and a hot reload from Da Nang to Nam Phong.

Never saw that book. Any cartoons in it? Post them here if you care to do so.

I have two that I bought in-country. Nguyen Charlie and Sorry 'Bout That. May post some of those from time to time.

For some who were not there, some of these do not make much sense. For those of us that were they do make sense. Hope all enjoy.

I remember a cartoon with some troops sitting around smoking weed and in the tunnel underneath them some VC were doing the same thing.

Happy "End of Hurricane Season" Day! Enjoy these.....


Just realized the first in this set has no caption. I looked at the one in the scrap book and no joy there either. So, I guess make up your own for now. Hopefully, some one has one with the caption under it and can inform us of what it says.
