"Even though we knew our enemy were runts, little bitty motherfuckers, in our imagination they were monsters, almost superhuman. They could do anything. Sneak up while we slept and snip buttons off our uniforms - or cut our throats. Break any barriers. Mass any number of men. Never run out of supplies. Live off a pocketful of rice mixed with muddy water from the tracks of a water buffalo. They never got sick. They were invulnerable.
As First Squad slowly worked its way toward a rendezvous with Sergeant Howard and Second Squad, Lieutenant Braley kept us busy on scouting parties looking for the VC. That was another thing the VC were good at - hiding. They were like wisps of fog. Like ghosts. Binns said they probably thought we were ghosts.
The rain stopped after the first night, leaving the jungle soaking and sloppy. The sun came out and heated everything up to steam. Tendrils of mist writhed among trees and clotted in pockets. Lieutenant Braley pointed on to a map and sent Osorio, Moore, Adams, and me out to watch a jungle trail. The lieutenant had lost his pale stateside complexion and replaced it with one raw and red and bug-bitten. Welcome to Vietnam, the world's armpit and crotch." -- Hill 488 by Ray Hildreth
