He was one of the best, Airborne, proud to serve his country and
fight its toughest war--in the hell that was Vietnam.
Known to all as "Fitz," Signal Corps officer David Fitz-Enz served
two tours in Vietnam. He was a soldier, combat photographer, and
platoon leader, fighting America's cruelest war--from the
VC-infested rice paddies of the Mekong Delta to the dreaded Ia
Drang Valley, where the enemy ruled the night.
Dispensing with traditional, sluggish chains of command, the Signal
Corps developed a rapid-response system based on greater
flexibility, cutting-edge communications technology, and
interdependence between the branches of the military during the
war. Now commanders in the field were able to call in artillery,
air strikes, and reinforcements at a moment's notice. Fitz-Enz
himself orchestrated the first-ever hook up over tactical systems
between the President in the Oval Office and a general in the
Vietnam jungle. The only book of its kind, WHY A SOLDIER? gives us
the inside view of the Corps as it launched an exciting new era in
strategic and tactical communications that set the groundwork for
all future military operations.
