“To more than one it seemed fruitless to attempt a mission, for but one day earlier; we had been in the same area of operations only to find the assertion that the VC had “their backs to the wall” was but fantasy. The VC had come at us with a wild ferocity reserved for those spiritually married to a cause and that made our losses climb. Sure, we weathered the onslaught but the truth was apparent, the VC was proving to be a force to be reckoned with, an enemy by no means near defeated.

“When I heard that Saigon was on the verge of falling to the Communists I felt a lump in my throat for I knew we were going to do damn all about it, and to me it had a bitter air of political appeasement attached to it.

“Within a week of trudging around searching for Charlie, everyone looked the same. Drab, nervously depressed, even ill, and bent to near double under overloaded rucks, those dusty bundles held everything in life for them. It seemed incredible that such a set of tired exhausted men could within seconds become alert to do at times brave or at other times truly dreadful things.
The author to French journalist, Saigon, in the summer of 67.”

“When visiting “The Wall” in Washington, DC, it comes as a bit of a shock to realize so many were killed. When walking along it looking for the name of a friend here and there you come across a familiar name, or one you think you ought to know, you remember some and how they died whilst with others there is a failure to recall. Then, on finding the name looked for you suddenly find yourself with a feeling of nearness, and saying Hi in greeting to that friend who did not survive.”

“The vast majority of those who served alongside a Special Forces unit in the Southland of Vietnam during the war returned to the world forever hyper-suspicious of everyone and closed-mouthed as to what they had been doing out there in the shit. It would take many years, decades even, before they opened even a splintered crack of insight as to what they had endured, had suffered. Many never would, just carried their secrets from the war along with them to the grave.”

“The United States Marine Corps survives on a diet of traditions and discipline, and relies on a Marines natural love of country, of the flag, for the boosting of his morale, and when merged together they make a powerful combination that can overcome anything.”

“We have several sources of fire support available to help you complete this mission. All you need do is give us a call with a target indication and we will blast the gooks. If your coms are down and can’t call for fire support, just fight it out as best you can. You ask of me and then what? Oh that part is real simple, you will indubitably be fucked.”
