Also ich, Rick Howard, John McIntyre, Tony Harrell. Unsere Hände riefen in die Luft. Wir haben alle gevoltert. Wir gehen nach... Zu Da Nang. Das ist unser erster Kulturschock. Wir sind in einem Sicherheitshaus geblieben. Ein Sicherheitshaus in Da Nang. Haus 22. Und so gehen wir rein, haben Essen, essen. Sie haben Sicherheit. Die Gegend ist sicher.

Und sie haben uns gesagt, dass wir uns nicht über irgendwas kümmern. Aber was auch immer du willst, kannst du essen. Geh einfach in die Bar, sag ihnen, was du willst. Wenn du trinken willst, dann trink, trink, sei glücklich. Und ich vergesse, was die Preise für die Prostituten auf dem zweiten Flur waren. Aber wir hatten schöne Mädchen da oben, die ihre Wehren umdrehen.

So, that first day, Mac and I, we're there, we're eating and whatnot. And they had a couple of barmaids there, and one was really nice. He was really educated, good English. So we talked to her and Mac and I both had girlfriends. We weren't interested in anything. So she could tell we were harmless and we set up with her. Went upstairs, had to take a shower.

So as we go up, there's this big open floor area with all these beds. You could hear a couple guys getting it on right there. So we go into the shower. There's a guy taking a shower. And in the corner is a young lady, squatted down, shaking that Coke up and douching with a Coca-Cola. So we just found a new use for Coca Cola, you know? Holy shit. So this is like growing up in Trenton, New Jersey.

Welcome to South Vietnam. Wow. So that's a little bit of culture shock. So while we're there, some of the guys from the Mike Force came in. And they stayed overnight. And they could tell that we're green as grass. So they had nothing to do with us. Because we're just green-ass Green Berets. But they were talking about the shit they had been in. And they had helped to relieve somebody.

Either in the Ashaw Valley... Und die Aschau-Wallee war nach Norden, direkt an der Grenze von Laos. Es war eine sehr ruckartige Grenze. Aber das war eines der Hauptplätze. Als der Ho Chi Minh-Trail herunterging, gab es zumindest zwei separate Branche auf dem Ho Chi Minh-Trail, die in die Aschau kamen, die dann nach Süd-Vietnam nach Hue, dann Phu Bai und später nach Da Nang kamen.

Wir waren da, um... Ich weiß nicht, in dem Moment des Tages, zu hören, dass die Leute darüber reden. Und es war so, das ist, wo wir sind. Worüber sprachen sie? Sie sprachen über den eigentlichen Kampf. And they were dirtied up. They literally came in, dropped their gear at the gate, and they were sitting there just talking, obviously still sweaty and wherever they had been.
