Kent was with the special forces and then the CIA. he helped set fire to a FEW Vietnsmese villages, but his main mission was to seek out pockets of resistance and those who were loyal to Minh. He would then mark these for napalming. His claim to fame was being one of the first commandos to exist a huey after the first Daisy cutter was used in Nam, quite an honor
later, as the Nam war wound down and Kissinger's sectret war spread to Cambodia, Kent was instrumental in logistics, but by this time, his activity was highly classified, so it's difficult to dig up
