LZ JUDAS GOAT: The Battle at LZ Judas Goat

War ravaged South Vietnam, December 1967:An unmarried pregnant Vietnamese civilian interpreter / translator employed at a US Army base camp north west of Saigon vanishes within the fog of war ... leaving behind only a fading cherished memory in the minds of the young soldiers who once looked upon a woman whose beauty and grace was delicate and feminine beyond all casual description.And forty plus years later ... a private investigator, retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel Grace Gilliland, is hired to determine the current status and location of this woman and her now adult child. A seemingly impossible task, since most of the the clues lay enshrouded within an enigma … The Urban Legend of The Battle at LZ Judas Goat.Because ... according to The US Army Center for Military History … The Battle at LZ Judas Goat is nothing more than a Vietnam War Ghost Story ... just an Urban Legend about an ambush executed within The Walls of Lost Souls … a Vietnamese Megalithic Site shrouded in mystery, steeped in nightmarish ancient lore … and commonly believed to be jealously guarded by Insatiable Angry Ghosts that eat men's souls.…………………………………………………………………………The Beginning of The Age of Aquarius was not just about the advent of Free Love, brightly painted Hippie Vans, and scantily clad Flower Children flashing the peace sign. It was an era of intense societal disruption ... the rapid decay of long standing social, moral, religious, and sexual norms ... the instant popularization of debilitating celebrity endorsed illegal drugs ... intense political confrontation ... media inflamed violent racial animus ... and The Draft … Government enforced direct participation in an unpopular war.This is not a story for those who will be easily triggered by that unvarnished verity of America's Camelot ... but for those who are emotionally prepared to vicariously confront a disturbing reflection of the true zeitgeist existing at The End of America's Age of Innocence and The Beginning of the Age of Aquarius.
