"... very dangerous '70-71.  The older guys refuse to believe it.  Could care less."

I believe it, it was clear to anybody there in early '70 that a big assault was coming. That's why Cambodia and Laos were invaded.

And- I was there 69-70.  Most of the VC/NVA with real commitment didn't survive Tet, mini-Tet in '68. And all the logistics hoarded over the border(s) in the the years leading up to '68 were expended in Tet/mini-Tet.

I never saw a manpads fired at us. In fact, I never saw a green tracer- everything shot at us was supplied by us.

Friend, I am so glad I left before Laos...
