He is one of nine children. After he graduated from high school in 1971, McGregor was asked by a career councilor if he enjoyed camping and when he answered 'yes' was encouraged to enlist as a foot-soldier in the US Army. He was promptly sent to Vietnam where he was wounded by a North Vietnamese IED while on combat patrol and was awarded a Bronze Star and The Purple Heart. According to reports of the incident, the booby-trap was actually triggered by a bomb-detecting dog who apparently was more agile than Mr. McGregor and survived the detonation unharmed. His experience in Vietnam sparked his interest in Asia and led to him becoming a journalist. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「James L. McGregor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
