Sounds like Viet Nam all over again!
I can almost guarantee they have their weapons locked and loaded.
>>”Sounds like Viet Nam all over again!”
Aint that the truth! One night, they got some intel that VC sappers coming to blow up some helicopters, so they had about half of the crews walking guard between the revetments. Instead of the usual M16s, (they were afraid we would shoot up the helicopters!) we were issued 12 guage pump riot guns.
They were still afraid of damage, so, although we were issued ammunition, we were not allowed to LOAD any rounds unless we saw the actual sappers. The sappers didn’t show, but I kept imagining that I could hear them laughing, in the distance.
