In the Central Highlands of Viet Nam we were surveying a river commonly used by Viet Cong, the then enemy of democracy. We were heavily camouflaged and in a team of six recon marines, two per position with no contact orders except to dispatch a high ranking VC officer believed to be involved in river mobilization of troops and supplys. It’s June and a good amount of monsoon had already fell upon us. I stepped out of a well hidden and waterproof hooch to micterate. I stepped but 10ft into a quasi trail turn around & doing my business. Almost immediately, there in the trail, walking towards me was a very young and very alone Asian with a shouldered AK-47. I only had my issued K-bar, and applied in the correct position.. Not long into his journey we meet face to face. He froze with a look that has followed me my entire life. Even in the darkness I could see fear in his face. The diminutive child sprinted off to all my concerns of chasing him vanished in the monsoon darkness. That was 1967 right before the tet offensive. I never saw that look of fear for decades after that until I met Elizabeth A. Campbell, Diane Milhaskey and Sunita Krishna in Dec 2018 in the Fondling Home of AZBN in Phoenix. The government needs to fear nurses they abuse, The motive defining why somebody would be so fearful and in threes, remains the driving force to see fear in the eyes of the corrupt…. again to revisit.
