The Line Haul Driver in Vietnam.

The truck driver in Vietnam, was like any soldier that went through boot camp.  18 or older, a kid at best, into fast cars and girls.  The army put him in a truck for 365 days and said "go to work" and work he did.

Once the driving was done for the day, for some unlucky drivers there were flats to change.
