Time passes. Eventually I fall asleep. I have a flashback dream. I am a Army 2LT attached as an advisor to an ARVN company in the Mekong Delta, RVN. The ARVN CO (a Captain) is a good officer and well trained in Infantry tactics. His soldiers are above average, but they are not as well trained as the OPFOR. My job is to advise the CO on infantry tactics and operations. I have a radio which will allow me to call for air support if we need it. This particular day we were giving the mission of conducting patrols in a zone as a show of force and by doing so make the locals feel that we are protecting them. G2 reports indicate that hostiles are not likely to be in the area. We have seen no sign of hostiles. We are walking single file on a dike in a rice paddy. It is deadly hot and humid. The ARVN troops are bored and inattentive. The CO and his platoon leaders and I are attentive, but we cannot see everything. Attention spans drop. Suddenly, the point man steps on a land mine. We all stop. Then all HELL breaks loose. We have inadvertently walked right into an well-disguised ambush with an L shaped field of fire. AK47s kill and wound many before we can react. We are in the open and have nowhere to go. Chaos reigns. The surprise of the attack is overwhelming. The OPFOR appears to be a battalion-sized force and we are greatly outnumbered---a well-entrenched battalion versus a company. I use my radio to call for air support, using the necessary profanity and codes. I shout "Yahoo ABMI." There is deadly silence on the other end and then the response comes "Command Yahoo ABMI no longer exists. You will have to use a different URL if you need help." (TO BE CONTINUED.)
