The typical crazed Vietnam veteran story; homeless man and woman under a bridge discussing the man’s trials and tribulations of the Vietnam war decide to hold each others’ heads under water to see who can stay under the longest. Woman holds man’s head first, then it’s the veterans’ turn…he has a flashback of combat in Vietnam while holding her head under water and mistakenly drowns her…the war’s fault. <\/p>\n

Well, unless the man has no military record<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Lufkin defense attorney Al Charanza said Wednesday that his client, Winfred Kilgore, 55, has no evidence of a military record. Kilgore faces a murder charge in the death of 48-year-old Joy Bybee, who drowned beneath a Lufkin bridge.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A little simple math might have precluded the search for a Vietnam war record. He’s a year younger than me and I was a year too young for the last draft lottery. And, by the picture above, he looks like his 55 years were a lot rougher than mine. I only included the picture because he looks just like someone I know, but I can’t quite put a name to the visage.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I used the phrase “typical crazed Vietnam veteran” title because it’s typical in my experience that few, if any of the homeless I’ve met who claim to be Vietnam veterans are actually Vietnam veterans…they’re mostly drug-addled cranks who prey on the hapless soft-hearted.<\/p>\n
