Larry Allen Abshier and the Vietnam War
A Private's Fatal Decision
Amidst the turmoil of the Vietnam War, Private First Class Larry Allen Abshier made a life-altering decision on May 28, 1962. Overwhelmed by the fear of being deployed to the horrific conflict, the 24-year-old American sergeant deserted his post.
Defection and Isolation
Abshier fled alongside three fellow American military defectors: Jenkins, Jerry Wayne Parrish, and Dresnok. Together, they sought refuge in relative isolation, far from the prying eyes of their former comrades.
