There definitely were tigers in Nam...bears too.

A bear shot at Ben Het (on the Cambodian/Laotian border with SVN)is in the SF Museum at Ft Bragg.

The coolest stories are the true ones.

Cobalt, the fact that you stepped on your tongue by acidly asking what kind of person eats the meat of an endangered species doesn't excuse your recent suggestion that I might be lying.

I met up with four of the guys from my company two years ago and one of them had pictures of the tiger. Would you like to bet on whether or not I can show you pictures of Vietnam era GIs on an NVA trail around a very dead Bengal-looking tiger?

"Cool war stories" and "claims" or not, I don't think you want that bet. Ed
