Russian linguist studied at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey California. 47 weeks, 6 hours a day 5 days a week. In fact, I was at the Steinbeck Theater watching a Russian Opera, The Queen of Spades when at the end of the movie the manager came out and told us JFK had been shot. All our teachers could say was they hoped the shooter wasn't a Russian. They didn't tell me why they wanted me in Vietnam but later when I learned that the North Vietnam SAM sites were controlled by Russian officers, I thought, man, if they wanted me to go with a unit of Special Forces into North Vietnam to capture one they were crazy.
