Signaling for cover fire, I had the closest squad mate run to the bodies with me and carry them to the next vehicle. We loaded them into the Humvee which had quickly become crowded when the side of it was lit up by enemy fire from an adjacent building.
I remember, very clearly, arriving on my first battlefield. We came behind the armored company, and found al the battle tanks smashed to bits by the artillery. We charged forward, unsupported, knowing that we would lose most of our men. The Chaos soldiers on the other side of the line blasted away with their boltguns.

Since Trang Bang was being attacked by North Vietnamese forces, South Vietnamese’s air force dropped the napalm bomb to eliminate them. Although the bomb did eliminate the enemy forces, many villagers were either injured or killed.

The second I stepped off that boat and into the shallow blood filled water I was instantly deafened by gunfire. Corporal Beckham had his head blown off by machine gun fire not even 20 seconds into the assault. Once on the beach I had to dive onto my stomach and pray that the torn apart and bullet riddled corpse in front of me was enough to absorb the machine gun fire that was raining down from the cliff above.

I was still pinned down by the gunfire for what felt like hours until the Americans destroyed the shelter enabling us to storm the cliffs.

The citizens of course listened and when some turned around to retrieve something they forgot or refused to go they were shot.
