I have been hearing about Nui Ba Den for twenty five years at least . One nasty hunk of mountain that was never taken . Gasoline , tear gas and one wonders how many assaults by grunts. A damned deadly mountain !
My ex-brotherinlaw (its a long story), was a tunnel rat and he mentioned Nui Ba Den during his lucid moments. We could ("we"), he could drink beer for twelve hours and never tell the same story twice.
