wish I still had mine
got it engraved by a little Jap guy in Yakota, Japan on a layover flight
had my name, 70-71, &the insignia for the 196th Light Infantry Brigade

btw- it said in the article that the lighters were stainless - NOT
they were chrome over brass, which is why the hinges wore out

Never had one of these, but I'm very familiar with a few of the sayings.

[Mister Bubba's bulletman]

"A sucking chest wound is natures way of telling you that you've been ambushed"

"Let me win you heart and mind or I'll burn your %^%^^@#@@#% house down"

"35 kills.... If you are recovering my body... *$@&! you"

Classic!

I think you could find the middle one on on a t shirt down on the drag between the tie dye t shirts.
