Jim Miller (US Marine)

Jim Miller is a former US marine who led a platoon in the Vietnam War.
== Early Life ==
Miller was born to Chris Miller, who was a Marine Raider in the Second World War and had a twin brother - Mark. 
== Vietnam War ==
Miller volunteered for the USMC in 1967 as soon as he left college as an officer. He had the rank of Lieutenant and led a platoon from 1968 to 1970. Early on he replaced a respected officer, so he was considered a weak, inexperienced leader in comparison. This led to conflict in the platoon, but eventually Miller would prove himself a worthy leader and become more respected by his comrades with the help of his platoon sergeant. He did this by taking the role of a pointman and doing tunnel rat duties, despite being 2 inches too tall and an officer. This was incredibly dangerous though, and he was lucky to survive. Eventually he would be able to delegate these responsibilities to the enlisted men, but he retained the nickname 'Pointman'. 
In 1970, Miller would end up working with Diego López to help him in a top secret mission, though it is unknown whether the mission was successful. What is known is that most of the members of Jim's platoon didn't make it out alive.
== After the war ==
When America left Vietnam, Miller continued to be an officer for the USMC and was promoted to Captain, but he would be reassigned to a non-combat, logistical role. He would get married in 1971 and have 6 children. In 1980, he would leave the military and start a successful ranch in Arizona which he still lives in, although his first son, Alan runs most of the affairs of as his father is getting older. 
In 2020, Jim was the victim of a home invasion, despite his rural location. 3 drugged up and armed urban youths who were out camping broke into his home at night. Fortunately, Jim was woken up by his dog. The 3 invaders were all killed by Jim, who as you might expect from a rural American is a big supporter (and practiser) of the Second Amendment.
