I knew a guy in 26th Infantry who was in the invasion of Cambodia. He always carried extra frags.
He told me at night they would camp off the trail and set up Claymores along the trail.
One night an NVA patrol came past. The guy on the switch for the Claymores was asleep. He just started throwing frags.
He was awarded a South Vietnamese medal for killing Communists but he never picked it up. :-/

It is a noble thing to kill small yellow people for banal middle-aged bureaucrats a day's flight away.
Almost as noble, but not quite, is to bomb their infrastructure to smithereens while poisoning their farm fields.

USA! USA! USA! Bringing you democracy, or else! there were strains of VD that were incurable, and they were first found in the Philippines and then transmitted to the Korean working girls via US military. The 'incurables' we were told were first taken back to a military hospital in the Philippines to quietly die. – 4um
