Hue was a tough one!

The blood-drenched Navy Corpsman had it right as he labored to keep yet another Marine alive on the mean street of Hue City: “Getting out of Hue alive is like trying to run between raindrops without getting wet.” Nearly half a century has passed since Marine veteran Dale Dye fought in Hue during the 1968 Tet Offensive. That brutal experience prompted him to write a searing, critically acclaimed novel about the surreal experiences of the battle to wrest control of Vietnam’s ancient Imperial capital from regiments of fanatical North Vietnamese Army soldiers.
The GCA Journal recently ran a 3-part feature article on Dale Dye, including his role as military advisor on Band of Brothers and his actual part in the series. Quite a guy.
I read each part twice. I've admired Dale Dye for decades.Quote:

Another great one I found out about thanks to this forum.
I just gave it to my son.
I bet he’ll like it and get back to me with some interesting questions…
