Part of a continuing series by military historians and people that were there. This one written by a Marine recounting a patrol he was on in '66 around Khe Sanh. Nice pic of him holding a muddy M14.
What I didn't know: it could get "bone chillingly cold" in the jungle (45 degrees!) and they would wear long johns to stay warm! Also: tigers!
