Tinks obit contains LOTS of BS regarding PHC. Tink obviously never served in the US Army when he refers to PHC serving in Vietnam as a “Green Beret Special Forces officer”. First of all, PHC would need to become commissioned as a 2LT either through OCS or ROTC. That would take at least several months. Next would come Infantry Officer Basic, which took 9 weeks back in the late 1960’s or early 1970’s. I know because I went through IOBC back in 1970. Next would be 3 weeks of Airborne School at Fort Benning. Last but not least, Ranger School took at least 80 days back in this time period. Add up all the necessary training and PHC just couldn’t have accomplished it, plus a minimum of 12 months in Nam. I doubt he ever served a day on active duty.
