"The day I got lucky in Vietnam"

A short essay
by Bob Parsons

Seeing the elephant.
"Like all soldiers from all wars, soldiers in the American Civil War had a special term they used to describe being in combat – and being face to face with the enemy: “Seeing the elephant.” I first came across the term when reading Shelby Foote’s excellent novel about the battle of Shiloh."
