Special Forces, Vietnam 1963 and Original Issue M1 Carbines

[DaveHH]

The worst would be the Viet Rangers. Undisciplined trash. There were a few good Viet troops like MIKE force guys, but regular Viet troops had no stomach for the war. Who can blame them? The Japanese, the French, the Viet Mihn, name your poison. The people were wonderful, beautiful people who treated their children like gold. You would be roaring down Hwy 1 and out in the paddy would be the most lovely women, they'd maybe take off their conical hat and redo four feet of jet black hair into a little ball. Surrounded by mud they were almost always clean. Smiling at us if we acted like gentlemen. You could stick your nose into their hut and if they were eating, you would be asked to share. The VC were killers and died.
