The Green Berets Page #4

I'm positive we'll work well together.

We build many camps,

clobber many V. C. Affirmative?

Affirmative.

I like the way you talk.

Let me get to the point.

We have two new camps.

Here and here.

This one is all right.

Everything is STRAC...

...a full complement of

Montagnards and Special Forces.

The other one?

Camp A-107...

...code name two-niner Savoy.

This camp we build

in the heart of V. C. Country.

One day is nothing.

Next day we are there.

Big surprise for V. C.

Unfortunately, "A" camp 107's

only about half-finished.

The Viet Cong hit it with mortar fire

3 or 4 times a week.

The villagers tell us that the V. C. Are

making a big buildup across the border.

We're hoping that weather does not

keep us from having air support.

Without it,

Charlie can overrun camp.

The "A" team's tour of duty

will be up in 10 days.

That puts that camp between the rock

and the hard place until it's completed.

I brought 2 "A" detachments

with me. I could...

...leave one here

to form a Mike Force...

...and take the other up

for replacements.

I think it's a good idea.

I have to pay my respects

to the General at 1500.

- Nice to have met you.

- Likewise.

See you later, Colonel.

- Sorry, I didn't see you come out.

- That's all right.

- Everyone looks at pretty girls.

- I wasn't looking at them.

I was thinking about that sign there.

"In Honor of William J. Wallace."

I noticed the buildings

and streets around here...

...got the names of heroes on them.

Dead heroes.

It kind of sets a man to thinking.

That it does.

And I also think

we'd better get moving.

You all right?

I'm still thinking about

those name plates, sir.

The ones about soldiers

killed in action.

My worry is that my name don't fit

any of our buildings or streets.

You got a real worry there.

Must be tough...

...having a problem like that.

"Provo's Barracks," "Provo's

Commissary." You see what I mean?

- No.

- It just don't sing.

If you think of something

that does sing, you let us know.

We'd want you to have the best.

Thank you, sir.

I appreciate that.

Remember me?

- George...

- Beckworth.

This is Colonel Morgan.

I took your suggestion.

I came to see for myself.

Good for you.

They said at Group I could go,

but it'd be up to you.

- What do you think, Colonel?

- Pretty hairy operation.

I don't think this area's ready

for writers. Hate to get one greased.

- Is that the real reason?

- Come again?

My paper believes

we shouldn't be in Vietnam.

Afraid I'll see something

to substantiate that belief?

Be my guest.

Good luck, Mike.

With joyous memories,

we leave the mystical city of Da Nang!

What gay adventure lies ahead!
