Default What I'm getting at

First of all not to say anything is not true but I spent most of 1968 in the Phu bi, Hue, Dong Ha area.
1. I wondered where the fight in a Phu Bi bar with Marines was. I didn't know of any bars there at the time. [Not much of any thing there, it wasn't Danang]
2. Why before Tet in 68 would the Army send a platoon size unit from the south up to the DMZ,Ka Sane, R-9 area when most of 2 Marine divisions were already there. Why would they land at the Phu Bi airport and then take a chopper up to R-9 instead of just landing at the airstrip 60 miles farther north at Dong Ha next to R-9.
