"TIME IS ON MY SIDE, already written there across the first helmet I ever wore there. And underneath it, in smaller lettering that read more like a whispered prayer than an assertion, 'No Lie GI'. The rear hatch gunner on a Chinook threw it to me that first morning at the Kontum airstrip, a few hours after the Dak To fighting had ended, screaming at me through the rotor wind, 'You keep that, we got plenty, good luck!' and then flying off. I was so glad to have the equipment that I didn't think where it had to have come from."

 

Not McCullin but this is Michael Herr's recollection in 'Dispatches'

I'm sure this happened a lot
