TC Brown returns to Formosa Files – and to Taiwan – after 53 years away. A former U.S. Air Force security policeman stationed at CCK Air Base in Taichung for most of 1968-73, TC reflects on his recent trip back (taipeitimes.com/News/feat/archives/2026/06/23/…) to the island, the Taiwan he remembers from the Vietnam War era, and the Taiwan he found today. John talks with TC about his memoir Made in Taiwan (amazon.com/Made-Taiwan-Americans-Chaotic-Journ…)and town patrol in Taichung’s “Dirty Dozen” bar district. We also visit Hualien through Wang Chen-ho’s bawdy novel Rose, Rose, I Love You (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose,_Rose,_I_Love_You_(…)), one of the few works of fiction to touch on Taiwan’s role in Vietnam War R&R.
