Lieutenant; we’ve been camped here for the past week; the men are getting restless. Sargent; everything is on a need to know basis. But I can tell you this; we are involved in a large operation be on your P’s and Q’s. Tell the men to sit tight until we get the orders to move. Lieutenant; I’ve been in Nam twice before this; I know exactly where we are. The border of Cambodia; Savay Rieng to be exact; Do you know about the village bar nearby? It is understood between the VC and us that it is neutral ground. We can go have a drink, play cards, get laid and relax a little without having to worry about being attacked as long as we get in and out between 2300 and 0200. How about it Lieutenant; let’s take 1^st squad tonight and 2^nd squad tomorrow night to boost their morale.
