During Vietnam, a veteran noticed helicopter door gunners' heads constantly bouncing during flights and assumed it was from the rough ride and vibration of the aircraft. He borrowed a headset during a two-hour mission and discovered they were actually listening to Creedence Clearwater Revival, moving to the music while scanning for threats below. The soldiers had turned their brutal work into something bearable by adding a soundtrack, nodding along to rock music while watching for enemies in the jungle canopy. The illusion of discomfort masked a coping mechanism, with door gunners transforming hours of tense aerial surveillance into something closer to a dangerous commute with the radio on.
