The Cowards

U.S. Marine and Silver Star award recipient Bill Whorton did two wartime tours in Vietnam, one as an Infantry Platoon Commander and the other as a combat advisor to South Vietnamese forces. He characterizes the war as an Insane Asylum, hence the series name. In this episode Whorton tells us how he received combat Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from Combat and how he rid himself of it. Whorton was both enlisted and an officer in the Marines and is a polyglot, fluent in Vietnamese, Chinese (Cantonese, Mandarin, & Teochew), Japanese, and several other languages including both ancient and classical Greek. His awards include the Bronze Star (Meritorious Service in Combat), Purple Heart, Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry (with silver star), Navy-Marine Parachutist, Eagle Scout, and KARATE (Okinawa) Black Belt 1st Dan. A true Warrior and Renaissance man, Bill taught at Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok for over a decade and reaching mandatory Thai retirement age, became a special lecturer for another 19 years. He is co-translator & co-author with Assistant Professor Tassanee Sinsakul of the recently published THE BHAGAVAD GITA: Lord Krishna’s Sacred Teachings on the Battlefield-of-Life, a translation taking 24-years to realize.
