Yeah. We just had that mindset. So anyhow, so we go out. We get our first ambush. We have a corpsman with us. And in a sister squad, we're just outside a village in a pagoda.

A pagoda is just like a little religious place where they have altars and stuff like that. At least that's what we called them was pagodas. And then about a couple clicks from us was another pagoda, and we had a sister squad set up there. And after we were set up on a sandwich

maybe an hour or 45 minutes or something, but it was before we did a first move, you know, because we would go out, we'd set up an ambush, we'd wait a while, let it get good and dark, and then there'd be a first move, and then we'd set someplace else, and then there'd be another move, and then we'd set in for the night. And the deal would be to move so... nobody knows where you're at.

So anyhow, that was the thought. So this squad, our sister squad, is in this other pagoda. And all of a sudden, all hell breaks loose where they are. And we get the radio call that they sprung their ambush. They had a fucking... VC or NVA come out of a spider hole and threw a chi-com at this guy, and then he picked it up, went and threw it back, and it went off in his hand.

Yeah, so he's pretty fucked up. And so to get there with the corpsman, because they didn't have a corpsman with them. So we get there, we run through this fucking rice paddy. Ever walked through a rice paddy?
