1 - U.S. Combat troops arrive, outnumbering the enemy 3 to 1 and possessing the most sophisticated military hardware; the job seemed easy. Earlier, spirits were high among the troops, intoxicated as much by the spectacle of their own strength as by the cold beer delivered to them daily.
2 - Rice is the staple diet. But it is more than food to the Vietnamese – it is their purpose for existing. A symbiosis exists between the society's religious beliefs (its moral values) and its task of growing rice.
3 – Vietnam 1967.
A Marine introduces a peasant girl to king-sized filter-tips. Of all the U.S. forces in Vietnam, it was the Marines that approached "Civic Action" with gusto.

1 - Cambodia 1970
For the captured Vietcong ... there is no equivication. They are firmly set in the honorable tradition of sacrificing one's life for one's country.
2 - Saigon 1968
At Tet and again in May, the Vietcong struck Saigon. They aimed at the middle-class districts that were duly destroyed by United States firepower.
3 - Vietnam 1968
The problem with "close" air and artillery support is that it can often be too close.
