Brother...

...this trip is going to make

LSD feel like aspirin.

Mr. Beckworth...

...you going to write about us?

- That's right.

- What are you going to say?

I don't know yet.

Man, oh, man!

Look at all those trees down there.

My dog could go crazy!

We have "A" teams out along

the Cambodian and Laotian borders.

They each built their own camp.

We're headed for one of those now...

...Camp "A-107."

There's our destination.

Good to see you again.

You know Lieutenant Sachs.

- Captain MacDanial, your replacement.

- That's good to hear.

Sergeant Kenny, pick up

the extra gear and the mail.

If you gentleman will follow me,

we'll get inside.

You got about a 150 foot

killing area here, Captain.

The first thing I'd do...

...is cut that back another 300 feet.

We've wanted to do that,

but we've been short of help.

We tried to get some engineers. They're

all busy. I requested some Seabees.

If that detachment ever gets here,

you put them on that first thing.

Mail call!

Dodge City?

You can buy it cheap.

Those what they call pungi sticks?

Yes, it's a little trick

we learned from Charlie.

But we don't dip them

in the same stuff he does.

Could increase the effectiveness

of that concertina with more tanglefoot.

- FRONT TOWARD ENEMY

- The claymores are great.

Got any more of them?

- Double the number on the perimeter.

- We'll get right on it.

Brings us up to date.

They mortared us again last night.

It's becoming a fairly regular thing.

- How many operations do you have out?

- 3 recon and 2 ambush.

- And that counterpart of yours...

- Captain Nim. He's out with a patrol.

The one that just got zapped.

He'll be in tomorrow with 3 wounded.

- Will you be staying with us awhile?

- I'll be in camp, off and on.

We fixed a place for you in the commo

bunker. Not much, but it's dry.

Good.

After mail call,

I've assigned my men...

...to get Captain MacDanial's team

bedded down.

He's a newspaper man.

This is Captain Coleman. Mr. Beckworth

is with the Chronicle-Herald.

- Can you find a spot for him?

- Affirmative.

Take Mr. Beckworth here to my hooch,

get him squared away.

This way, Mr. Beckworth.

Can I give you a hand?

If it's all right, the lieutenant

and I will stay with the team.

This way, sir.

The captain has the bottom bunk. We'll

get somebody to make this one for you.

- Is there drinking water?

- Yes. I don't know if it's cold.

It'll be fine, thank you.

You've got a pad in the storage bunker.

You can have mine in a few days.

I hope.

To the right here.

You funny!

I see you've made

Hamchunk's "A" Club.

You funny!

You not.

This is Hamchunk.

He's become a permanent fixture

around here. He's an orphan.
