The Vietnam War is one of those things in history that I think we all have a general idea about. But, even having family members who served, I still had a lot of misconceptions coming into this expert interview. Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts. My guest today is Robin Bartlett. Robin was a Lieutenant in the 1st Cav and completed over 50 helicopter based assaults. He shares not only his extreme experiences in combat, but also the changes in life going to Vietnam and coming back from it to a world that wasn't necessarily happy to see the troops return. He's got an excellent book out now if you're interested in more. You might notice also my extra gravely voice in this interview, I was still very sick when we recorded. ( Www.RobinBartlettAuthor.Com ) Let's welcome these soldiers home!

Canada, rocketing up the chart thanks to all of the wonderful Ontario listeners. 4. The United Kingdom, led by England. 5.

He led 28 soldiers on helicopter combat assaults and search and destroy missions with the famed 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile). His book, Vietnam Combat: Firefights and Writing History, relates his unusual experiences during that war...some horrific, some humorous. Bartlett holds a master's degree in media from Pace University in NYC and a BA degree in Comparative Literature from Claremont McKenna College in California.

It's 1968. The Vietnam War is at its fiercest. Robin Bartlett is a platoon leader with the U.S. 1st Air Cavalry Division. Robin's platoon is deployed on regular helicopter combat assaults, sometimes twice a day. Getting into the Landing Zone is perilous - so is getting out. Robin recounts the day when his helicopter had ascended to 1500 feet, received gunfire and then moments later, the engine cut out. What followed was pure terror.For more information, check out show notes at https://www.battingthebreeze.com/vietnam-war-helicopters-and-historyWe love receiving your feedback - head over to https://www.battingthebreeze.com/contact/ Thanks for listening!

Like so many young men in the late 60s and 70s, Robin Bartlett -- fresh out of college found himself in Vietnam. Despite coming from a family with a military pedigree he had other plans for his life. But, when duty called he answered and found himself thrust into a leadership position among youthful men. His book, Vietnam Combat: Firefights and Writing History, is a candid account of his own experiences in the conflict. In this episode, I speak with Robin about the harrowing incidents he endured. The tragedies he was faced with. The manner in which young men like him were often harshly treated upon their return home. And, despite the circumstances of his story, there is even time for some light-hearted recollections.

Riding Shotgun With Charlie #178 Robin Bartlett Author, Vietnam Veteran It's a great feeling when someone recommends a passenger and it works out well. Robin Bartlett was referred to me. I reached out, did an introduction, and he sent me a copy of his book. After reaching out and setting up an interview date, we were able to make the show happen. We start by talking about some of the nonsense that are New Jersey gun laws. To add to the “fun”, in New Jersey BB guns aren't legal. And aren't serialized, too. When he goes out to target shoot, Robin transports everything legally, of course, and keeps his paper with him as well. At the age of 8, Robin was caught with .22 rounds, a hammer, and a chisel. He and his friends were opening the cases and lighting the gunpowder. It was then his dad knew it was time for some gun safety lessons! (PS: Don't Try It At Home!) While living in Virginia, he joined the Davy Crockett Junior Rifle Club and started with a .22 rifle doing the NRA qualification program. He's done years of target shooting through college years doing all of the NRA programs. Robin is from a long line of military men who went to West Point. After his friends enlisted and were reassigned, he decided it was time to join the ROTC. He spent 6 years as a career officer and spent time in Vietnam. He was assigned to the 101st Airborne, which was a good assignment. Robin spent time leading the younger troops, which weren't much younger. And learning from some of the older leadership, which wasn't much older. His main objective was to his men in the platoon; it wasn't to have a high body count of the enemy. He was responsible to get everyone home safely. It didn't always go that way of course. He tells us a gut wrenching story about the first loss he had. He had to make due and fly with some bodies that didn't have bags. They only had ponchos to wrap the bodies in. Eventually Robin was given a job at the 14th MHD. He didn't know what it was. He asked others what it was and they didn't know either. He finally was pointed in the direction and found a tent that said 14th Military History Detachment. Their motto was “You fight it. We write it”. He was given a job that was what he went to college for as a comparative writer. Out of the three who had writing in their background, he was the only one to take the job. The job was in a tent that came with things like cots, refrigerator, two fans, and a shower. He was required to do quarterly reports and review the lessons learned. These reports became the official battle reports. Sometimes they were told to be less than truthful. In one instance, they were not able to get a count of the enemy killed because the Vietnamese took the dead off the field. Robin was told to give a false number and make it real. When he got out he got into publishing and spent years in the publishing business. He talked with several other Vietnam vets about their experiences. And they weren't all the same. After getting feedback about experiences, he decided to write about his experiences. His mother saved all of his letters in the original envelopes with the dates stamped on them. He was able to relive the war with what he remembered and what he wrote. It took him 10 years to turn it into his book, Vietnam Combat: Firefights and Writing History. The book is very unique in that he was able to put the memories and letters together. It's an exciting read that I”m sure you'll enjoy. You can find the links below to Robin's social media and website. You can buy the book on Amazon, but I'd suggest buying it right from him and having it autographed. I like having a collection of autographed books. Favorite quotes: “The life expectancy of a platoon leader in Vietnam was 90 days.” “Body count was the metric by which we were evaluated.” “Writing this book was supposed to be cathartic for me. It was supposed to get me through all this crap.” “I had to relive so many of these events. Many of them were horrific.” Robin Bartlett Website https://robinbartlettauthor.com/ Robin Bartlett Facebook https://www.facebook.com/robin.bartlett.16 Robin Bartlett Instagram https://www.instagram.com/robinbartlett01/ Second Amendment Foundation https://secure.anedot.com/saf/donate?sc=RidingShotgun Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms https://www.ccrkba.org/ Please support the Riding Shotgun With Charlie sponsors and supporters.

Robin Bartlett takes you back 50 years to a ‘boots on the ground' account of his extraordinary combat experiences as a 22-year-old 1st Lieutenant with the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile). As a combat infantry platoon leader, he deployed a 28-man platoon on search and destroy missions and helicopter assaults into hot landing zones at the height of the Vietnam War.Bartlett's vivid combat events are brought to light in a fast-moving presentation expressing the horror, fear, anguish, and sometimes illogical humor of that war. He brings to light the long-term impact, both positive and negative, on his home life and business career…. with insights about leadership, courage, PTSD, and life lessons learned. These are stories that will stay with your listeners long past the end of his presentation.Bio: Bio: Promoted to 1st Lieutenant after only one year, Robin Bartlett at 22 assumed the leadership of the 1st Platoon, A Company, 1st Battalion, 5th Cavalry, 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile). Over the next seven months, he led a platoon on more than sixty helicopter combat assaults and search and destroy missions.Bartlett grew up in a military family. His grandfather, father and brother all attended West Point, but after thirteen elementary and middle schools and four high schools, he decided he'd had enough of the military. But in college, as the Vietnam War escalated and eighteen-year-olds were drafted daily, Bartlett joined his college's ROTC program and fell back into a familiar routine. Upon graduation as a Distinguished Military Graduate he volunteered for Infantry, Airborne, and Ranger training, and assignment to the 82d Airborne Division. He got everything he asked for…and more.Bartlett holds a BA degree in Comparative Literature from Claremont McKenna College in California and a master's degree in Media from Pace University in NYC. He has written numerous business publications and a professional book published by Dun & Bradstreet.He is the President of the NY/NJ Chapter of the 1st Cavalry Division Association, and a proud member of the 82d Airborne Division Association.

There are some leadership experiences that most of us will never find ourselves in. And often, it's those experiences that can provide the most valuable lessons a leader could ask for…and never wanted to learn. In 1968, at the age of 22, Robin Bartlett assumed the leadership of the 1st Platoon, A Company, 1st Battalion, 5th Cavalry, 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile) during the height of the Vietnam War.A distinguished military graduate, Robin turned down an opportunity to attend West Point, opting to go to Ranger school, which he calls the best insurance policy he ever took out on himself. For 50 years, Robin rarely shared his experiences, until, in his words, things started to leak out. What would result is one of the best pieces of non-fiction I've read in years: Vietnam Combat: Firefights & Writing History.As fate would have it, his mother had saved every single one of the 100+ letters he'd sent home, and thanks to an enduring friendship with his Medic, he also had pictures with which to retrace his steps during the most pivotal time of his life. Robin and I discuss what it means to grow up in an environment that places a premium on leadership, what it's like to lead and lose a team, and we even manage to squeeze in a couple laughs. I couldn't have asked for a better conversation to come back from our break. Enjoy the show!

Today I talked to Robin Bartlett about his new book Vietnam Combat: Firefights and Writing History (Casemate, 2023). The year 1968 was arguably the most significant year of the war. It was the height of the American involvement, and because officer casualties had been so great after the Tet Offensive of January 1968, all prior officer assignments were canceled. 1st Lieutenant Robin Bartlett, originally on orders to the 101st Airborne Division, suddenly found himself at the "repo-depo" in Bien Hoa reassigned to the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile). The unit had more helicopter support than any other unit in Vietnam. The soldiers carried lighter packs, more ammo and water because of the availability of rapid helicopter resupply. Immediate support from artillery, helicopter gunships and ARA (aerial rocket artillery) was only minutes away to support a firefight. Wounded troops could be medevaced even in dense jungle using "jungle penetrators." It also meant that Bartlett's platoon could deploy through helicopter combat assaults into hot LZs (landing zones) at a moment's notice if an enemy force had been spotted. And they did. It was with extreme anxiety that Bartlett made his way to join his battalion and company - it was the worst of times to be a platoon leader in Vietnam, let alone a grunt serving in a combat unit. Bartlett also had to cope with personal issues of commitment to a war that was rapidly losing support not only back home but among the soldiers he was leading through the jungles of I Corps on "search and destroy" missions. Fifty years later, Bartlett's vivid combat experiences are brought to light in a fast-moving, well-written, first-person narrative expressing the horror, fear, anguish, and sometimes illogical humor of that war.

It was the height of the American involvement, and because officer casualties had been so great after the Tet Offensive of January 1968, all prior officer assignments were canceled. 1st Lieutenant Robin Bartlett, originally on orders to the 101st Airborne Division, suddenly found himself at the "repo-depo" in Bien Hoa reassigned to the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile). The unit had more helicopter support than any other unit in Vietnam. The soldiers carried lighter packs, more ammo and water because of the availability of rapid helicopter resupply. Immediate support from artillery, helicopter gunships and ARA (aerial rocket artillery) was only minutes away to support a firefight. Wounded troops could be medevaced even in dense jungle using "jungle penetrators." It also meant that Bartlett's platoon could deploy through helicopter combat assaults into hot LZs (landing zones) at a moment's notice if an enemy force had been spotted. And they did. It was with extreme anxiety that Bartlett made his way to join his battalion and company - it was the worst of times to be a platoon leader in Vietnam, let alone a grunt serving in a combat unit. Bartlett also had to cope with personal issues of commitment to a war that was rapidly losing support not only back home but among the soldiers he was leading through the jungles of I Corps on "search and destroy" missions. Fifty years later, Bartlett's vivid combat experiences are brought to light in a fast-moving, well-written, first-person narrative expressing the horror, fear, anguish, and sometimes illogical humor of that war.

The story of the Vietnam War has been told many times in many different ways. But how often have you heard what it was like on the ground for infantry soldiers walking The Trail - that daily grind of cutting through the jungle in pursuit of the enemy? The unbearable heat, leeches, C-rations, booby traps, ambushes and counter-ambushes. It's a gripping and terrifying story which my guest Robin, a Vietnam Veteran, tells with passion and surprising humour. It's a story that must be told over and over again so that we never forget. Welcome Home, Robin.For more information, check out show notes at https://www.battingthebreeze.com/vietnam-war-the-trail/.We love receiving your feedback - head over to https://www.battingthebreeze.com/contact/ Thanks for listening!
Of the 58,281 names on the wall, two-thirds of them died in 1967, ‘68, and ‘69. Robin Bartlett landed in I Corps right smack in the middle of that period. His training sergeant at Camp Evans said to him, “your life expectancy is less than 90 days.” In this episode, Robin talks about the realities behind that prediction, how he defied it, and the book he wrote about his Vietnam War experience.
Robin Bartlett takes us back 50 years to a "boots on the ground" account of his extraordinary combat experiences as a 22-year-old 1st Lieutenant with the 1st Cavalry Division in Vietnam. As a combat infantry platoon leader, he deployed a 32-man platoon on search and destroy missions and helicopter assaults into hot landing zones at the height of the Vietnam War.Today we'll hear about the horror, fear, anguish, and sometimes illogical humor of that war. Robin talks about the long-term impact, both positive and negative, on his home life and business career...with insights about leadership, courage, PTSD, and life lessons learned.Promoted to 1st Lieutenant after only one year, Bartlett at 22 assumed the leadership of the 1st Platoon, A Company, 1st Battalion, 5th Cavalry, 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile). Over the next seven months, he led a platoon on more than 60 helicopter combat assaults and search and destroy missions.Bartlett grew up in a military family. His grandfather, father and brother all attended West Point, and in college, as the Vietnam War escalated and eighteen-year-olds were drafted daily, Bartlett joined his college's ROTC program. As a Distinguished Military Graduate, he volunteered for Infantry, Airborne, and Ranger training, and assignment to the 82d Airborne Division. He got everything he asked for…and more.Bartlett holds a BA degree in Comparative Literature from Claremont McKenna College in California and a master's degree in Media from Pace University in NYC. He has written numerous business publications and a professional book published by Dun & Bradstreet.He is the President of the NY/NJ Chapter of the 1st Cavalry Division Association, and a proud member of the 82d Airborne Division Association. He and his wife live in Norwood, New Jersey, and have three sons, none of whom have pursued military careers.Some questions we asked Robin:Q. We're now celebrating the 50th anniversary of the treaty ending the Vietnam War. Tell us about your experience as a young lieutenant who was given life-and-death responsibility over young men, some barely old enough to buy a beer.Q. Give us your perspective of the war from a “boots on the ground” point of view.Q. How did you manage having misgivings about the mission while being required to follow orders and meet your responsibilities as a platoon leader?Q. What did you learn about leadership, decision making, courage and fear?Q. How did your experience in Vietnam as a 22-year-old platoon leader affect your post-war professional life? What have you been doing since then?Q. Describe what it was like to participate in a helicopter combat assault.Q. When did you come face-to-face with the enemy?Q. You just completed a new video, “Firefights and Courage,” in which you describe an assault and its aftermath. Fill us in on that.Q. Why are the words “Welcome Home” such an important greeting for Vietnam vets?Q. Tell us about your book, “Vietnam Combat: Firefights and Writing History.” What did you learn from writing it?Q.
