You do know that Khe Sahn was a seige, don't you? The three
battalions of III Marines were under seige for about two months or so.
Six thousand against 20,000 NVA. There was no hand to hand combat, no
atrocities of civilians because the only ones inside the wire were
wives of the SVN Army troops that fought with the Marines. No
atrocities occured at Khe Sahn. If he wasn't there, how the hell
does he know what happened?

So, you attest that YOU were there? Good thing you ain't under oath,
imbecile.

Your story is poor bull****.

And you are an idiot.
