Chuck Mawhinney never relished killing, stressing that he was only “doing his job” in Vietnam.
At 4 he “borrowed” his grandfather’s shotgun and — with both barrels — blasted a flock of quail full of birdshot.
In high school, Mawhinney loved stock-car racing, girls and beer, but he frequently got himself into trouble with the law . His in-country career didn’t start as planned, being screamed at as an FNG that the “Corps doesn’t need snipers. It needs grunts!” Mawhinney slogged through his initial time in Vietnam as an infantryman, involved in gunfights but never knowing if his shots hit their marks.
