When the Marines complained the sodas weren't cold, local children raised clouds of dust heading for the nearby village and returning with huge blocks of ice. 'Now, this is the only way to fight a war," grinned a Lance Corporal who had shifted his machinegun so he could wrap both hands around an icy Pepsi-Cola. As the Marines turned to preparing their unit positions, the civilians hounded them to buy more and more souvenirs of all sorts. NCOs kept the merchants at a discreet distance, but most had developed a fish-market set of lungs that made long-distance barter an easy chore.

Virtually any sort of cheapo impedimentia young men are fond of draping from their bodies was available along the road. There were bangles, beads, dog tap with obscene and irreverent slogans and even baby monkeys for sale. The only Marine to buy a monkey had him just long enough for the simian to take a healthy chunk out of his new owner's finger and then ibst him to the surrounding jungle. The young man put up with his buddies' jeers for a while and then went back to the bargaining. Amid all this fraternization, of course, there was a problem with security- for individual equipment and weapons. The Marines took every precaution, always leaving someone to guard gear left in the base camp area. Fortunately, nothing came up missing.

COMIC SITUATION

Patrolling, especially for the reconnaissance Marines, became a tragi-comic situation. The recon men, used to moving swiftly and silently close to enemy positions, had difficulty in getting used to moving out followed by a band of civilians who knew exactly where they were going and shouted at them loudly to buy whatever was contained in their merchandise baskets. Despite distractions, the training went on at a gruelling pace, with Marines learning by the profuse sweat of their Photo by GySgt.
