This dramatic cover-up from the Vietnam War has waited more than forty years to be revealed.

Twelve U. S. Air Force fighter planes and twenty highly trained pilots were blown out of the sky near Danang, Vietnam, by US-made bombs with malfunctioning “short” fuses. Everybody knew about it, from the other fighter pilots to the Vietnam generals and higher military echelon, and surely all the way to President Lyndon B. Johnson.

• Why was it never reported in the media?
  

• Why were these heroic martyrs brushed aside and forgotten?
  

• Why was the manufacturer never named or called to account?
  

• And why was the entire disaster covered up?

This tragic story reaches our most sensitive core, it ignites our righteous indignation, and it raises the bar on unanswered questions from the Vietnam War. But now Lt. Col. Jack L. Drain, retired—a career fighter pilot who flew 268 combat missions—is finally exposing the truth:


"I don’t want the history books to remember the Vietnam protestors and not the American protectors—those valiant people who believed in and died doing what was asked of them by our country."

Life on a Short Fuse names names, calls a spade a spade, and provides unvarnished answers to hard questions about this military travesty. “You can call it ‘friendly fire’ or a ‘cover-up,’ but its real name is ‘hiding the truth.’ And after forty years of silence, I’m through doing that,” says Drain.

"My life is not the most important thing I own; it’s only on loan from God. I owe my first allegiance to Him and, therefore, to the truth. So here it is—and you can accept it not— but my conscience will now be clear." – Jack Drain
