I don’t think they were all deployed at the same time. They also had two other brothers that didn’t serve. Not quite sure why or how they were not drafted.
I’m not sure what my dad’s older brother did in the navy. But I known his younger brother was a door gunner. He was the one that was drafted. He never did quite recover from his time in Vietnam. It haunted him all his life. He eventually took him own life.
