military myth? Carlos Hathcock supposed to have killed a female Viet Cong sniper called “Apache Woman.” She reportedly delighted in torturing and slowly killing young Marines wounded in ambush or in traps set for them in the jungle. When she and her squad entered his prepared, long-range ambush, Hathcock is said to have identified her as the target when she squatted to pee.
Viet Cong were homegrown insurgency.
the question was about women in NVA battalions
of which I too am skeptical
no one questions women used as VC insurgents
precisely where women have historically been used in such dire attempts
largely made ineffective in much of Vietnam during Tet.
