First day I got my platoon I lost half of them to a 120 mm mortar with in hours . First track hit was the mortor track. Weeks later we got a replacement track , but the guys bringing it to us set it on fire cooking in it . Col . said he was sending them out to Laos on a big hill , I told him if he was sending them I was going with them. He said damn right you are. They flew us in at dusk and the 4 of us got in holes already on top and were silent. I could here them talking going by us all night
