==Wartime experiences==
As a 17-year-old marine, McCarthy served in Vietnam in 1966-7, unloading cargo from ships at FLSG-Bravo with the 1st Marines, after which he was transferred to the 1st Combat Engineer Battalion in Chu Lai and then Danang.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Contributors' Bios )〕 After one tour, McCarthy deserted the military and did time in civilian jail and military prison.〔 His early work, collected in ''War Story'', is an unflinching yet understated meditation on his scarifying experiences in Vietnam. He remains a committed anti-war activist, and has participated in actions by Vets for Peace and Vietnam Veterans Against the War.〔 McCarthy reflects on the brutalizing effects of the military experience in ''Bloody Hell: The Price Soldiers Pay''
By Dan Hallock (Plough Publishing House, 1999), where he says, "Forget going to war...I wouldn't even go back to boot camp...I think it can change you psychologically forever."(p. 89)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bloody Hell )〕
