[I]Trích đoạn:
From day 1 (8 Feb) we knew hell had just broken loose. We flew to little Khe Shan (our PZ) and waited word to lift off. When we did, there were helicopters of every make and model flying North into Laos, through an almost impenetrable haze of smoke and dust. In spite of continuous air strikes and arch lights, the NVA were well entrenched and had more fire power than any of us had seen at any other time in Nam. Most of their antiaircraft guns were radar controlled (51 cal machine guns, 12.5 and 23mm AA guns) [B][COLOR="#B22222"]and had their gunners chained to them so they wouldn't run away if attacked[/COLOR][/B]. We took heavy losses in both aircraft, people, and emotions. The guy I'd come in country with, Lt Joe Marshall, was our first KIA. It was living in hell, something none of us will ever forget. It tested the metal in all of us. Getting shot at was bad. Getting shot down was worse. And it was constant, day in - day out. Loosing friends, watching them get shot down, blown up or blown apart in the cockpit was a heart ripping emotional event. But, it was over quickly. There was a finality that can't be changed.[/I]
Many NVA soldiers were found tied together in their bunkers

Trích đoạn:
The NVA soldiers who surrendered to Vietnamese Marines occupying a blocking position can attest to the speed and violence of their move through Gia Dinh. These NVA would have surrendered sooner but for their fear of the Rangers. Also, [B][COLOR="#B22222"]many NVA soldiers were found tied together in their bunkers[/COLOR][/B], indicating a greatly demoralized enemy.[/I]

Trích đoạn:
T30 – COL Cu, CO 32nd Regiment states that the reason that the NVA are fighting so tenaciously between the 70 and 73 grid lines is that they are chained to their bunkers. COL Cu states they will take photos and get them back ASAP.

NVA tank crews had been found chained to their tanks destroyed inside An Loc[/COLOR][/B]. Normal methods of increasing troop morale and fighting spirit seeming to have failed in other areas, these field expedient methods were utilized with varied levels of results.[/I]
