the 'NAM #75 (December 1992)
by Doug Murray, Scott Lobdell, Alex Trimpe & Herb Trimpe
APPEARANCES:
Sgt. Lou Martini, Lt. William J. Calley Jr. (in fb), Robert L. Haebrle (bts in fb), other US soldiers (in fb)
FLASHBACK:
March 16, 1968: Lt. William Calley oversees the slaughter of the village of My Lai.
SYNOPSIS:
1971: Lou Martini chats with another soldier about the slaughter of My Lai, then watches as a monk sets himself on fire in protest of the war.
2nd Story:
By Don Lomax & Mike Harris
APPEARANCES:
Paul Thomas, Russell
SYNOSIS:
Thomas, now a talk radio host in Chicago, fields caller question about the recently made public slaughter in My Lai.
3rd Story:
By Don Lomax & Wayne Vansant
APPEARANCES:
Robert L. Haebrle
FLASHBACK:
Repeats first story’s flashback, no new information.
SYNOPSIS:
Robert L. Haeberle is interviewed about the photographs he took during the My Lai massacre.
4th Story:
By Don Lomax & Herb Trimpe
APPEARANCES:
Sgt. Polkow, Lt. William J. Calley Jr.
SYNOPSIS:
At William Calley’s trial, Sgt. Polkow keeps reporters and bystanders calm, then helps Military Police escort Calley away after he’s found guilty.
the 'NAM #76 (January 1993)
by Don Lomax, Mike Harris & Wane Vansant
APPEARANCES:
Rob Little (also in fb), Ed Marks (in fb), Sgt. Jim Tarver (in fb), Lt. Wilcox (in fb), Eugene Little (in fb), Rob’s parents (in fb), various US soldiers (in fb), Eugene’s killer (in fb, see NOTE)
FLASHBACK:
Tarver’s upset with Polkow for promoting Little, so he assigns Little and Marks to some crappy assignments to leave Polkow shorthanded. Little and Marks meets with Lt. Wilcox and accompany him on his mission to pay backpay to various soldiers (pages 3 - 18). After being sent home, Little tries to talk his brother out of joining the Army once he graduates high school. He won’t listen and volunteers, but is declared 4-F. Upset, Little’s brother eventually falls in with a bad crowd and becomes a drug dealer, and is killed in a drive by shooting.
SYNOPSIS:
June 1972: Rob Little visits his brother’s grave.
NOTE:
A footnote says the Vietnam flashback happens sometime during NAM 2-5. That’s nice, because going off of clues, I would have said sometime during NAM 5, but the timing of that issue leaves nowhere for this flashback to go. I guess Little was promoted by Polkow earlier than NAM 5, and we just didn’t know about it. Also, Ed is a Cpl. here, and he made a big deal of pointing out his promotion in NAM 5, so I guess this is between NAM 4-5.
NAM 78/2 posits that Tarver might have been Eugene’s killer.

NOTE:
This happens after NAM 76, but that's dated June 1972 while this is dated April 15, 1972. I think the June in NAM 76 is what's wrong.
the 'NAM #78 (March 1993)

Re: the 'NAM!
According to Marvunapp, Marvel's series about Vietnam War take place on Earth-85101 instead of Earth-616.

Re: the 'NAM!
Can you cite a Marvel comic that says that?
I can't promise you that things will improve, if we make changes;
I can promise you that they won't improve, if we don't.

Re: the 'NAM!
Huh.
And yet, Punisher's the 'Nam appearances are noted in all relevant chronologies in that Index, AND in the "Before Punisher #1" piece at the start of the book. How can the 'Nam both "count" and "not count"? Heck, one of those the 'Nam comics explains/straightens out one of the big inconsistencies of Frank's military service and family history.
I'm leery of dismissing the 'Nam. I mean, what's next? Amazing Spider-Man #175 is no longer canon because Punisher has a Vietnam flashback in it?
I should probably mention I was one of the co-head writers of the Punisher Index.

Re: the 'NAM!
The 'Nam! series is weird, though, because in the early issues the characters talk about superheroes as if they're fictional. The real explanation is that Marvel changed its mind halfway through about whether or not it's happening in 616.
Re: the 'NAM!
Punisher's 'Nam adventures happened for him, but not in Vietnam, or at least, not the Vietnam War of the 1960s and 1970s. The sliding timeline is gradually making it increasingly difficult for him to be a veteran of a war of that era while still being active and crimefighting in the modern day. He'd now have to be in his late sixties - and before anyone raises the fact that the Frankencastle incident could be used to reset his clock, that wouldn't resolve the issue for all his fellow veterans that he keeps running into, who are similarly still active in what would be becoming their twilight years.

Ice Phillips is the Earth-616 (mainstream Marvel Earth) counterpart to The ’Nam (Earth-85101) Ice Phillips. Though this issue is 616 Ice’s 1st, the other Ice last appeared in The ’Nam #69, ’92; presumably 616 Ice’s life includes similar events to those depicted in The ’Nam, but in a conflict other than Vietnam and a world containing superhumans.
And no, ASM #175 would remain canon - we just have to accept that the flashback isn't to the war it was originally intended to be. Punisher suffers from the same sliding timescale impact on his war as Iron Man and Flash Thompson do for their respective wars.

Re: the 'NAM!
Re: Michael
If I remember right, there was a letters page editorial (or maybe it was in Marvel Age?) around the time Punisher appeared in the 'Nam that explained it was to boost sales, but they wanted it to be respectful and important to the character without being a cheap stunt. Or something like that.
Re: loki
Yeah, the sliding timescale does some wonky things to Marvel history.
As I currently understand it, there's the historic Vietnam, and then there's a "Southeast Asian Conflict" (or somesuch) that happened around comics published in the late '60s/early '70s. That second one is the one Flash Thompson and Frank Castle served in. Pretty soon (if it hasn't happened already), there'll be two 9/11s. The historic one and the one seen in Cap v4, ASM v3 #36 and the Call. I'm sure there are other examples and I'm sure there will be more in the future. That's part of what makes all of this fun!

Re: the 'NAM!
Now Frank is Gulf War veteran, right?
Re: the 'NAM!
Pretty much - probably a war with Communist holdout Sin Cong.
And, presumably, Red Wolf, Rhodey, and whoever else was involved in Bengal's origin story.
Re: the 'NAM!
Frank fought in the last notable conflict the U.S. was in. Whichever one that might be at any given time. Or, if there's ever a long enough real world peace, Frank fought in Sin Cong / A.N. Other generic South East Asian conflict.
