And here he's talking about, uh, so one of the Durex platoon leaders was Rick Rescorla. And here's what he says about Rick Rescorla. Rick Rescorla, first platoon leader, was six months out of OCS. | <0>2875<0>3096<0>3585<0>3642<0>2710<0>3791<0>1569<0>221<0>1500<0>2864<0>443<0>1500<0>548<0>3791<0>3067<0>2070<0>2748<0>3894<0>2185<0>3176<0>1500<0>3447<0>3832<0>2826<0>1587<0>1500<0>3850<0>2703<0>3894<0>3067<0>2475<0>1882<0>3155<0>492<0>2799<0>1715<0>1575<0>3067<0>151<0>2316<0>3373<0>3850<0>3150<0>1518<0>1214<0>1862<0>... |
And his man speaks for his professionalism, so here's what Raskorla did. | <0>4058<0>3096<0>3176<0>2598<0>2978<0>221<0>2703<0>1306<0>3637<0>3585<0>2563<0>1944<0>3373<0>3832<0>2748<0>1007<0>3782<0>3447<0>1307<0>3943<0>1214<0>1710<0>3972<0>1007<0>368<0>3447<0>3135<0>2471<0>3107<0>3122<0>1773<0>3840<0>1954<0>2415<0>3246<0>3837<0>3798<0>1071<0>602<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<... |
Rascorla walked the terrain and tried to see it from the enemy's point of view. That's critical. What's the enemy thinking? Scrub brush, elephant grass, ant hills, and some ground cover stretched to the front. The ground was not as flat as it first appeared but had seams and thick ruts stretching off to the south with... | <0>1575<0>2525<0>3489<0>1257<0>1081<0>411<0>1837<0>3782<0>4071<0>1388<0>3713<0>3373<0>553<0>553<0>3735<0>2229<0>2748<0>317<0>1710<0>3585<0>1568<0>2494<0>2462<0>1830<0>1007<0>1214<0>3874<0>1530<0>2703<0>2471<0>3585<0>2710<0>1307<0>1214<0>221<0>690<0>1730<0>1171<0>2864<0>3469<0>543<0>1858<0>3447<0>2874<0>2762<0>2348<0>34... |
The hasty prone shelters dug by Charlie Company 1st Battalion had been dug after nightfall under enemy pressure. Rascorla moved his men back 50 yards, which not only shortened the sector, but meant the enemy would now have to leave the trees and cross 40 yards of mostly open area to reach Bravo Company foxholes. | <0>3726<0>3726<0>1748<0>3305<0>3096<0>3585<0>3433<0>3561<0>3592<0>2415<0>2471<0>1715<0>3150<0>1125<0>2371<0>3376<0>2619<0>2543<0>3667<0>2543<0>366<0>2864<0>3509<0>1653<0>2619<0>4009<0>1594<0>2619<0>807<0>1944<0>484<0>782<0>3180<0>2775<0>3782<0>1518<0>2766<0>2376<0>1588<0>3191<0>2968<0>1050<0>4003<0>1318<0>1171<0>587<0>... |
Rescorla recalls, because of our shortened lines, I decreased the number of foxholes. Three man holes were constructed. The M60 machine guns were set on principal directions of fire from which they could switch to final protective grazing fire, interlocking with each other and with the machine guns on our flanks. | <0>614<0>3447<0>3264<0>130<0>3067<0>3067<0>521<0>2471<0>259<0>2550<0>3621<0>2958<0>2288<0>2492<0>1730<0>1190<0>3235<0>2302<0>824<0>2777<0>2094<0>1498<0>1214<0>2541<0>484<0>898<0>3359<0>1214<0>1306<0>3457<0>150<0>1541<0>2293<0>1649<0>3972<0>553<0>2710<0>703<0>3902<0>83<0>2152<0>3457<0>3637<0>3373<0>2142<0>3972<0>327<0>1... |
Fox holes and parapets were built in details. I tested the holes. | <0>948<0>3972<0>1819<0>1233<0>1710<0>2707<0>3287<0>1238<0>2023<0>527<0>3828<0>1587<0>259<0>3264<0>3067<0>1117<0>3791<0>1518<0>2874<0>3894<0>3526<0>2710<0>2710<0>2060<0>2935<0>1518<0>3420<0>2624<0>2278<0>3164<0>1902<0>1850<0>3892<0>3535<0>2598<0>2971<0>22<0>673<0>1321<0>3526<0>259<0>3089<0>2707<0>1659<0>2707<0>3943<0>38... |
Some were so deep the occupants could not even see the par- over the parapet. In these cases, firing steps were built back up. | <0>2663<0>3535<0>2471<0>1191<0>2619<0>3374<0>3535<0>3974<0>3626<0>3278<0>3704<0>1396<0>3782<0>3782<0>2848<0>3373<0>3067<0>3160<0>221<0>2471<0>1171<0>221<0>2710<0>3713<0>527<0>3180<0>3976<0>582<0>2989<0>3067<0>243<0>3828<0>1685<0>3217<0>37<0>151<0>3199<0>1272<0>2183<0>2919<0>151<0>3561<0>3046<0>216<0>1253<0>3713<0>3535<... |
Two hours before dusk, Sergeant Eschbach, A-27 and Sergeant Thompson organized a booby trap detail. Carefully, they rigged grenades and trip flares far out on the main avenues of approach. Claymore mines, Claymore mines would have iced the cake, but somewhere they had been lost. | <0>829<0>2579<0>3067<0>3782<0>2619<0>3966<0>561<0>1007<0>1990<0>229<0>3171<0>2471<0>1217<0>1587<0>3198<0>3148<0>641<0>1546<0>641<0>1920<0>2060<0>4009<0>3713<0>151<0>3425<0>2294<0>3821<0>3781<0>133<0>1108<0>1200<0>1977<0>3002<0>3363<0>2619<0>521<0>384<0>2229<0>1120<0>2004<0>1989<0>2492<0>1071<0>1057<0>3681<0>3096<0>1171... |
And again these guys are lucky there's a lull and they have all the time to prepare this and get it all set up and that's a big difference from what happened when these guys hit the | <0>3235<0>2479<0>506<0>130<0>366<0>207<0>1480<0>471<0>943<0>4011<0>2471<0>3447<0>1944<0>484<0>1518<0>3962<0>1401<0>1819<0>492<0>967<0>1539<0>3667<0>1919<0>2070<0>3976<0>2748<0>3135<0>3898<0>327<0>871<0>3791<0>3235<0>317<0>3943<0>1738<0>1790<0>1518<0>1835<0>3561<0>2710<0>345<0>1641<0>3535<0>957<0>735<0>4079<0>2385<0>287... |
You know, both those guys, you can see that's what a leader does. That's what a leader does. They make sure things are right. They make sure you're ready to win.

And by the way, this Rick Rescorla, and this is a little bit of a side note, he ended up working for Morgan Stanley as the head of security for Morgan Stanley and they worked at the Twin Towers in New York City. That's where Morgan Stanley was. And he, | <0>2996<0>587<0>366<0>1500<0>1007<0>3067<0>3668<0>1751<0>2525<0>2826<0>3803<0>1335<0>9<0>3762<0>2492<0>1108<0>1108<0>1989<0>3003<0>1989<0>1989<0>365<0>3973<0>3067<0>3373<0>3081<0>2639<0>1790<0>3348<0>2525<0>2543<0>304<0>2471<0>2799<0>327<0>1218<0>1238<0>2826<0>2769<0>1500<0>3299<0>1748<0>1108<0>1108<0>1376<0>1579<0>492... |
Last scene on the 10th floor going back up into the building to do a final check and make sure that everyone was out and the tower collapsed at 9.59am and he saved | <0>1108<0>3898<0>4009<0>1850<0>3295<0>1097<0>1100<0>3184<0>3874<0>587<0>1491<0>493<0>3526<0>1108<0>1748<0>2989<0>3972<0>2544<0>1467<0>3447<0>3894<0>1830<0>1518<0>1518<0>2471<0>1117<0>492<0>1007<0>3184<0>871<0>3447<0>1910<0>43<0>1587<0>1816<0>1649<0>4038<0>191<0>243<0>1579<0>1526<0>3898<0>805<0>2155<0>4055<0>1463<0>2152... |
A lot of lives that day, not only through his actions on the day of, but through his actions in preparing. | <0>390<0>1596<0>1526<0>3135<0>1569<0>3146<0>2042<0>2471<0>83<0>2187<0>593<0>770<0>948<0>948<0>1238<0>3349<0>3153<0>2029<0>3680<0>3708<0>2398<0>2840<0>587<0>2799<0>366<0>2471<0>623<0>587<0>151<0>148<0>1688<0>977<0>2663<0>151<0>3894<0>3713<0>2703<0>807<0>1171<0>3373<0>512<0>426<0>191<0>3892<0>3892<0>3373<0>1738<0>1108<0>... |
The first rush by at least 300 North Vietnamese was beaten off in less than 10 minutes by small arms, machine gun, and artillery fire from the alert and well prepared Bravo Company 2nd Battalion troops. | <0>2594<0>746<0>259<0>2773<0>492<0>2619<0>824<0>1445<0>369<0>2471<0>967<0>3096<0>3556<0>397<0>3447<0>546<0>3821<0>1328<0>1265<0>2471<0>2619<0>1944<0>2935<0>587<0>1214<0>3561<0>698<0>1715<0>3447<0>513<0>3561<0>3024<0>2648<0>3972<0>2645<0>229<0>1500<0>3535<0>2883<0>1206<0>317<0>967<0>1171<0>3892<0>3821<0>3850<0>3877<0>34... |
At 4 31 a.m. 20 minutes later, they came back to Derek said the intensity of their attack increased and I was under the under assault aimed at my three left platoon sectors. | <0>2471<0>746<0>304<0>2142<0>3447<0>3617<0>623<0>2989<0>3445<0>553<0>2703<0>2185<0>1518<0>1214<0>130<0>1730<0>1683<0>3990<0>3020<0>1730<0>1710<0>553<0>3894<0>2703<0>43<0>1630<0>3299<0>738<0>783<0>831<0>2382<0>911<0>1485<0>1485<0>1171<0>3373<0>3370<0>2978<0>824<0>1171<0>3365<0>2288<0>2397<0>3319<0>4070<0>899<0>3561<0>11... |
Screams, shouts, and whistles split the night as NVA swept down the mountain straight into the smoke-clouded killing ground. Now all the mortars of my battalion and Tully's were turned loose, adding their 81mm high explosive shells to the general mayhem. | <0>1108<0>1108<0>2116<0>3713<0>3377<0>3447<0>1171<0>3067<0>1710<0>1715<0>4059<0>1273<0>1719<0>1850<0>2619<0>1990<0>2030<0>949<0>807<0>1790<0>3974<0>3002<0>2775<0>1518<0>1710<0>3551<0>2769<0>3180<0>3235<0>2700<0>3592<0>908<0>1902<0>553<0>3024<0>1609<0>1444<0>2192<0>1195<0>1171<0>386<0>3585<0>3892<0>3892<0>672<0>3535<0>8... |
Rifleman John Martin, who is in Diderik's lines, says, we kept pouring rifle and machine gun fire and artillery on them, and they broke and ran. | <0>1120<0>366<0>1850<0>3437<0>3067<0>697<0>493<0>3875<0>898<0>3782<0>2348<0>2865<0>3782<0>1734<0>1354<0>1463<0>75<0>1859<0>2156<0>827<0>3809<0>368<0>3585<0>587<0>2710<0>2710<0>3637<0>3447<0>3373<0>746<0>2741<0>545<0>484<0>898<0>304<0>3020<0>3850<0>367<0>1546<0>1831<0>1968<0>1710<0>824<0>2070<0>1118<0>2301<0>2669<0>3020... |
I don't think we had any casualties, but they were catching hell. | <0>1989<0>2221<0>275<0>2548<0>1730<0>1981<0>1175<0>304<0>2703<0>3909<0>3585<0>919<0>2703<0>3782<0>2710<0>2062<0>3637<0>1377<0>3002<0>1785<0>3769<0>1546<0>3799<0>2004<0>3180<0>1675<0>2823<0>3892<0>2989<0>3541<0>1517<0>2703<0>3005<0>2328<0>1666<0>2935<0>3750<0>2989<0>604<0>3299<0>1329<0>2555<0>602<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>... |
So, so now it's a totally different story. These guys are dug in, they have all their artillery dialed in, they've got their fields of fire set up, and the attacks come, well organized attacks with 300 people, you can't, they don't make it happen. | <0>1108<0>1198<0>3541<0>1502<0>3018<0>1667<0>3592<0>3373<0>3782<0>1518<0>1007<0>1245<0>1245<0>1500<0>1518<0>151<0>746<0>1007<0>326<0>2023<0>3972<0>1732<0>1414<0>1428<0>1108<0>2398<0>4095<0>2398<0>2398<0>1701<0>1530<0>2883<0>2099<0>2594<0>1238<0>919<0>512<0>553<0>3972<0>1518<0>545<0>3435<0>974<0>3541<0>2152<0>327<0>587<... |
Back to the book. Over on the perimeter, a scoreless man fought on. Our M79 switched to direct fire. Fire delivered to a visible target and lobbed rounds out between 75 and 100 yards. Still, the shadowy clumps moved closer. RPGs and machine guns crackled as they blasted us from the dark line of ground cover. | <0>871<0>1500<0>1418<0>492<0>196<0>2799<0>2541<0>1850<0>1500<0>1910<0>1500<0>1500<0>2471<0>1945<0>3828<0>1773<0>385<0>1518<0>2471<0>652<0>2769<0>2703<0>22<0>746<0>3927<0>2865<0>3782<0>2697<0>3962<0>1518<0>321<0>2864<0>543<0>1428<0>1748<0>2989<0>3972<0>1444<0>3447<0>2826<0>3447<0>3821<0>698<0>3782<0>3976<0>3155<0>2799<0... |
Across open fields they came in a ragged line. The first groups cut down after a few yards. A few surged right on, sliding down behind their dead comrades for cover. An amazing, highly disciplined enemy. | <0>4007<0>1862<0>3404<0>2619<0>1007<0>1819<0>492<0>3180<0>3359<0>403<0>3585<0>2799<0>1442<0>3079<0>3585<0>2353<0>3585<0>3067<0>490<0>3122<0>1575<0>3782<0>1850<0>386<0>2185<0>3972<0>1902<0>1944<0>2244<0>738<0>3451<0>559<0>3222<0>746<0>2769<0>484<0>746<0>283<0>1328<0>3067<0>2374<0>1657<0>3443<0>898<0>1734<0>614<0>2703<0>... |
A trooper cursed and pleaded in a high pitched voice, god damn it, stop the bastards. So here they are, they're attacking, and when the North Vietnamese soldiers get hit, their buddies are coming up behind them, taking cover behind their bodies and continuing to assault. So this is an indicator, you know, like I said,... | <0>1989<0>2864<0>3922<0>1865<0>3373<0>2799<0>1675<0>3414<0>83<0>3828<0>838<0>513<0>3184<0>2324<0>1500<0>3096<0>698<0>3280<0>1598<0>957<0>4079<0>3281<0>3561<0>2748<0>43<0>898<0>3445<0>3452<0>967<0>975<0>1238<0>3972<0>2525<0>838<0>787<0>1463<0>3176<0>3447<0>512<0>627<0>2741<0>3264<0>644<0>1743<0>614<0>229<0>1862<0>2787<0... |
They're going to attack, they're going to attack through whatever we put out. | <0>493<0>3892<0>807<0>2748<0>3447<0>3821<0>3447<0>3287<0>1977<0>3782<0>3515<0>2703<0>3373<0>2471<0>2471<0>1710<0>3782<0>3515<0>1944<0>151<0>3809<0>3067<0>3067<0>1834<0>1769<0>3435<0>3447<0>898<0>2510<0>3067<0>2070<0>2799<0>2471<0>2970<0>275<0>2864<1>1506<1>2427<1>844<1>3237<1>473<1>487<1>1636<1>512<1>2127<1>619<1>3964<... |
Then they stepped into that open area. The flares were burning. They were lit up and it was easy. We opened up and picked them off. It was a light attack. They, then they hit us harder 30 minutes later, blowing bugles, blowing whistles. We killed them all. | <0>1858<0>1773<0>1171<0>3096<0>1710<0>2703<0>678<0>2379<0>1171<0>1100<0>2703<0>3877<0>2989<0>1238<0>3642<0>221<0>553<0>1882<0>658<0>2648<0>2044<0>290<0>1108<0>1108<0>2840<0>1238<0>1944<0>1944<0>231<0>3447<0>3447<0>368<0>3067<0>3067<0>3180<0>1500<0>366<0>553<0>298<0>3184<0>3469<0>1748<0>493<0>623<0>1238<0>1214<0>1526<0>... |
Then some white phosphorus came in about 15 in front of my hole and I lost most of my web gear and my shirt. Had about 8 burns on one arm. | <0>2152<0>368<0>824<0>298<0>1518<0>1850<0>779<0>729<0>1392<0>2541<0>491<0>1265<0>3713<0>149<0>3585<0>3561<0>2823<0>2471<0>678<0>3720<0>212<0>1175<0>3792<0>3585<0>151<0>746<0>3972<0>1569<0>974<0>1575<0>2632<0>151<0>3927<0>974<0>2989<0>1862<0>1882<0>1518<0>1518<0>1518<0>366<0>471<0>762<0>1463<0>1214<0>2471<0>2946<0>1518<... |
John Stetland sat there under the light of the flares and used the point of his bayonet to quickly dig the still burning Willy Pete fragments out of his flesh. So white phosphorus is a type of munition that we use and it's white phosphorus and it hits and blows up and it's on fire. It's little pieces of burning hot me... | <0>1989<0>765<0>2471<0>2619<0>368<0>2874<0>313<0>3389<0>3809<0>3020<0>2425<0>2122<0>2122<0>891<0>302<0>1968<0>231<0>3782<0>775<0>1461<0>1171<0>259<0>1218<0>3962<0>3782<0>969<0>492<0>1518<0>545<0>2703<0>148<0>2684<0>327<0>492<0>1944<0>3305<0>512<0>2703<0>3541<0>1858<0>2978<0>1517<0>3116<0>3585<0>3561<0>3854<0>698<0>1171... |
During the two and a half hours of the attack against the Derrick Sector, the rest of the x-ray perimeter had been quiet. Too quiet. Dylan and I discussed the possibility of conducting a reconnaissance by fire to check for presence of the enemy elsewhere on the line. | <0>1793<0>3447<0>1175<0>855<0>2060<0>339<0>2703<0>3899<0>1500<0>366<0>366<0>2989<0>3828<0>3713<0>1715<0>1198<0>4052<0>1108<0>359<0>1738<0>3175<0>3096<0>2710<0>3612<0>1850<0>3515<0>289<0>895<0>2710<0>2472<0>3320<0>2475<0>3541<0>2357<0>3002<0>1977<0>678<0>3969<0>915<0>3067<0>2864<0>1500<0>3235<0>1467<0>1575<0>3874<0>1751... |
We had plenty of ammunition and what the hell the enemy knew where our lines were by now. As well as I did. | <0>1108<0>1238<0>3096<0>2703<0>3526<0>1518<0>1500<0>2378<0>304<0>2703<0>2989<0>1530<0>3892<0>3556<0>1171<0>786<0>1530<0>3668<0>967<0>3894<0>362<0>105<0>2987<0>871<0>2703<0>1222<0>3248<0>2525<0>1500<0>1518<0>1518<0>2642<0>3794<0>1076<0>3585<0>1730<0>561<0>3585<0>2161<0>1858<0>327<0>1882<0>1214<0>2155<0>2697<0>411<0>1882... |
We pass the word on the battalion net. At precisely 6.55 AM, every man on the perimeter would fire his individual weapon and all machine guns for a full two minutes on full automatic. | <0>196<0>1318<0>3782<0>366<0>562<0>3348<0>3898<0>678<0>1738<0>1214<0>954<0>2594<0>3447<0>3972<0>553<0>587<0>3585<0>3339<0>4066<0>3566<0>2104<0>1950<0>1862<0>327<0>151<0>3535<0>3437<0>3002<0>231<0>2935<0>2710<0>2598<0>216<0>1730<0>2703<0>2378<0>148<0>2221<0>3972<0>2703<0>2686<0>2996<0>3892<0>3585<0>3899<0>83<0>3063<0>11... |
The word was to shoot up trees, anthills, bushes, and high grass forward of the, uh, forward of and above the American positions. Gunners would shoot anything that worried them. | <0>1117<0>3435<0>304<0>1518<0>1238<0>2775<0>3457<0>3875<0>221<0>2703<0>1338<0>1273<0>1171<0>1171<0>1967<0>950<0>967<0>3195<0>1041<0>1518<0>3135<0>1575<0>512<0>1719<0>2775<0>3067<0>43<0>1569<0>1007<0>3894<0>2471<0>3972<0>3535<0>2282<0>705<0>2756<0>278<0>3354<0>2778<0>1830<0>1518<0>2989<0>2471<0>492<0>3874<0>3561<0>3447<... |
Right now we had learned to our sorrow that the enemy used the night to put snipers in trees ready to do damage at first light. | <0>3447<0>553<0>83<0>2471<0>2070<0>553<0>2991<0>2471<0>83<0>83<0>1306<0>1171<0>3067<0>2753<0>2460<0>2756<0>354<0>3756<0>4009<0>3535<0>3150<0>479<0>484<0>678<0>3541<0>3882<0>1124<0>3036<0>2799<0>3176<0>553<0>746<0>1530<0>3854<0>3561<0>1171<0>3637<0>3373<0>1730<0>366<0>3976<0>3114<0>149<0>2152<0>382<0>3150<0>3850<0>2799<... |
Now is the time to clean up out front. | <0>512<0>3972<0>2471<0>327<0>3828<0>3150<0>3972<0>1238<0>1710<0>3837<0>992<0>512<0>3585<0>3585<0>3874<0>191<0>1108<0>614<0>484<0>457<0>543<0>2205<0>2492<0>1108<0>2004<0>3972<0>678<0>3918<0>3179<0>1748<0>1335<0>2323<0>1518<0>3972<0>3973<0>2826<0>1331<0>3981<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<... |
At the stated time, our perimeter erupted in an ear splitting uproar. | <0>366<0>3135<0>3002<0>3821<0>1171<0>3556<0>2192<0>3782<0>2703<0>1214<0>128<0>2254<0>384<0>974<0>1518<0>484<0>1500<0>3541<0>1738<0>443<0>3972<0>3898<0>327<0>974<0>457<0>1526<0>190<0>587<0>2155<0>3389<0>826<0>2703<0>2443<0>3637<0>2339<0>151<0>587<0>1214<0>1883<0>366<0>390<0>1575<0>2989<0>974<0>1675<0>3263<0>2068<0>3981<... |
And immediately a force of 30 to 50 North Vietnamese rose from a cover 150 yards forward of Joe Sugdeny's Alpha Company, 2nd Battalion lines and began shooting back. The mad minute of firing triggered their attack prematurely. | <0>3585<0>1171<0>587<0>3561<0>1100<0>950<0>696<0>3976<0>1944<0>2146<0>304<0>1773<0>2769<0>561<0>1154<0>3447<0>1569<0>1539<0>3020<0>2716<0>3892<0>1730<0>77<0>3561<0>587<0>2619<0>2748<0>1730<0>1539<0>237<0>561<0>1171<0>698<0>213<0>3694<0>2104<0>2537<0>2104<0>223<0>3169<0>1575<0>3067<0>1500<0>3067<0>368<0>3927<0>3972<0>12... |
Artillery fire was instantly brought in on them and the attack was beaten off. | <0>3171<0>3840<0>3713<0>3373<0>3617<0>386<0>3748<0>521<0>1518<0>3067<0>3002<0>2462<0>1171<0>3002<0>492<0>3020<0>361<0>327<0>2865<0>2619<0>3020<0>3972<0>3972<0>3373<0>3373<0>3541<0>587<0>3585<0>2682<0>3447<0>490<0>3730<0>1858<0>948<0>3176<0>701<0>3114<0>3246<0>1596<0>1862<0>1944<0>602<0>3981<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<... |
When the shooting stopped, one dead sniper dangled by his rope from a tree and forward of Diderik's leftmost position. Another dropped dead out of a tree almost immediately forward of John Herro's, John Herron's Bravo Company. 1st Battalion Command Post. | <0>2365<0>151<0>3457<0>3939<0>3008<0>236<0>716<0>149<0>1569<0>2471<0>1283<0>1384<0>1008<0>2254<0>466<0>1974<0>2548<0>221<0>3447<0>3894<0>809<0>1710<0>509<0>3373<0>2703<0>2753<0>1265<0>345<0>3821<0>236<0>3972<0>2864<0>2864<0>691<0>3447<0>3713<0>3067<0>3972<0>1238<0>1329<0>3927<0>2989<0>1238<0>2953<0>542<0>3020<0>1175<0>... |
Sergeant Stedland's arm speckled with white phosphorus burns began hurting him now. I was sent back to the aid station where my arm was bandaged and I was waiting to be medevaced out. | <0>4066<0>2060<0>219<0>335<0>2185<0>212<0>3002<0>3349<0>1780<0>2748<0>3096<0>3535<0>4092<0>1546<0>4071<0>2548<0>1484<0>3782<0>3782<0>2703<0>3299<0>2251<0>1335<0>3466<0>2132<0>2506<0>648<0>3349<0>1883<0>1518<0>3067<0>327<0>1751<0>3782<0>2603<0>3832<0>2541<0>2541<0>3850<0>1007<0>3373<0>2705<0>3180<0>484<0>1569<0>2471<0>1... |
The more I sat there, the more I realized I couldn't in good faith get on a chopper and fly out there and leave those guys behind. So I took the sling off my arm and went back out. Somebody asked, where are you going? I said, back to my foxhole. Nobody said anything else. | <0>196<0>1214<0>219<0>43<0>2525<0>3729<0>3782<0>1392<0>877<0>245<0>1819<0>83<0>1214<0>304<0>3782<0>2703<0>1422<0>3020<0>3898<0>366<0>1850<0>2588<0>1517<0>2000<0>1478<0>2162<0>2589<0>3972<0>1944<0>3925<0>1683<0>3809<0>3894<0>2195<0>3585<0>587<0>3526<0>2151<0>2070<0>1730<0>1830<0>491<0>3821<0>1171<0>2115<0>2710<0>3445<0>... |
So obviously these guys now have gained some, some good fire superiority in the upper hand in the battle. | <0>2940<0>2826<0>2152<0>1862<0>43<0>561<0>553<0>3002<0>587<0>2421<0>2475<0>3637<0>553<0>1850<0>317<0>561<0>43<0>1882<0>580<0>1804<0>3328<0>3585<0>3405<0>587<0>3290<0>2826<0>899<0>1108<0>3466<0>1912<0>2004<0>1335<0>2492<0>3762<0>2492<0>3762<0>1989<0>1108<0>4066<0>1989<0>1748<0>465<0>290<0>114<0>3792<0>2826<0>327<0>1596<... |
Back to the book. Rescurl and his men had been watching the air show appreciatively. We gathered for the last sweep. Suddenly a fighter bomber plowed down on us from above. We buried our noses in the holes. An express train screamed down and the explosion shook the earth. The bomb landed 30 yards from our holes. | <0>1591<0>3782<0>1931<0>1526<0>229<0>3541<0>3730<0>313<0>1715<0>1518<0>2471<0>652<0>553<0>3713<0>919<0>2935<0>3821<0>1685<0>3028<0>342<0>3255<0>3972<0>809<0>2152<0>1171<0>2603<0>1794<0>3828<0>1027<0>2375<0>2864<0>3541<0>287<0>974<0>2324<0>3603<0>369<0>1719<0>2432<0>1804<0>492<0>2475<0>3199<0>3636<0>2952<0>1406<0>587<0>... |
We came up cursing in the dust and debris. The call came to move out. Every available trooper, including Colonel Moore pushed the perimeter out. | <0>3003<0>1108<0>3184<0>4062<0>3821<0>3585<0>366<0>2864<0>2019<0>484<0>3447<0>1715<0>221<0>527<0>1526<0>3526<0>3373<0>259<0>2030<0>191<0>493<0>871<0>1981<0>151<0>3158<0>1318<0>395<0>3494<0>1420<0>634<0>1775<0>1748<0>2799<0>1978<0>1518<0>1518<0>3821<0>3585<0>587<0>3894<0>3894<0>3974<0>3617<0>2471<0>3122<0>287<0>1748<0>1... |
This time it was no contest at all. We killed 27 more enemy and crushed all resistance. | <0>3526<0>2070<0>1517<0>484<0>2471<0>2365<0>3373<0>587<0>3373<0>3373<0>1883<0>366<0>1518<0>866<0>3373<0>3850<0>1526<0>974<0>1518<0>1575<0>1423<0>957<0>1753<0>4011<0>229<0>4018<0>3373<0>1575<0>2429<0>2471<0>3146<0>1171<0>3535<0>2142<0>3617<0>2471<0>1518<0>2703<0>824<0>221<0>1100<0>3439<0>1319<0>2619<0>3002<0>1591<0>1392... |
I looked over the field, littered with enemy dead, sprawled by ones and twos and heaps across a torn gouged land. | <0>359<0>2471<0>3373<0>1816<0>538<0>2471<0>229<0>3348<0>2144<0>2462<0>3999<0>492<0>1441<0>3180<0>693<0>732<0>3881<0>3882<0>1120<0>1526<0>368<0>3617<0>915<0>229<0>3447<0>3490<0>1171<0>623<0>3585<0>3526<0>1171<0>3892<0>1100<0>1715<0>2978<0>2710<0>1518<0>411<0>2707<0>3287<0>1575<0>3972<0>3642<0>3435<0>219<0>3791<0>3968<0>... |
It was a sobering sight.

Aside from wanting to make certain that Diderik and his men did a clean, safe job, I had one reason for joining the final assault personally. | <0>327<0>3235<0>2748<0>3447<0>2748<0>512<0>1191<0>1902<0>151<0>1710<0>512<0>561<0>975<0>3376<0>915<0>324<0>2703<0>3153<0>899<0>1008<0>1544<0>191<0>1485<0>368<0>3541<0>2703<0>3472<0>221<0>2978<0>587<0>2703<0>2703<0>587<0>3597<0>1050<0>634<0>3746<0>738<0>530<0>780<0>963<0>3020<0>2420<0>1500<0>3585<0>561<0>2966<0>3821<0>3... |
This is, this is Colonel Moore talking and then it goes to Rick Rescorla. Rick Rescorla watched. Colonel Moore in our sector was rushing up the clumps of bodies, pulling them apart. | <0>1463<0>2060<0>3713<0>3378<0>1108<0>313<0>3002<0>1715<0>4066<0>3097<0>83<0>678<0>2641<0>2989<0>678<0>3589<0>3972<0>1862<0>221<0>493<0>3874<0>1261<0>2921<0>2594<0>3592<0>397<0>221<0>2753<0>3541<0>1117<0>1886<0>3155<0>2339<0>2989<0>3972<0>1862<0>3658<0>2156<0>2156<0>2104<0>2683<0>3658<0>2639<0>707<0>1575<0>3447<0>3348<... |
What the hell is the Colonel doing up there? Sergeant Thompson asked.

Later we saw him coming back at the head of men carrying ponchos. By 10.30 a.m. Colonel Moore had found what he was looking for. Three dead American troops were no longer missing in action. Now they were on their way home to their loved ones. | <0>4058<0>1238<0>3892<0>1858<0>690<0>3002<0>1518<0>1518<0>2396<0>366<0>1214<0>1238<0>1575<0>3782<0>2221<0>3695<0>1846<0>1835<0>2703<0>3585<0>1442<0>361<0>561<0>1730<0>3008<0>3190<0>1974<0>2104<0>3856<0>2826<0>2471<0>623<0>3184<0>1518<0>327<0>975<0>3299<0>2594<0>2030<0>1155<0>1748<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>30... |
By now, late morning Tuesday, November 16th, the personality of Landing Zone X-Ray had changed. What previously had been a killing field had become something else. We moved without impunity in places where movement had meant death only hours before. | <0>1007<0>3447<0>553<0>3447<0>2799<0>3067<0>2244<0>3658<0>1805<0>1108<0>1335<0>648<0>3447<0>2563<0>2497<0>3972<0>83<0>1530<0>2343<0>3155<0>587<0>3176<0>3892<0>3874<0>1238<0>1882<0>512<0>2060<0>3585<0>1211<0>3771<0>561<0>2343<0>1442<0>2799<0>1500<0>2525<0>1710<0>1518<0>327<0>3894<0>3096<0>1007<0>3135<0>553<0>2152<0>3585... |
Except for our own artillery and air, there was nothing to be heard. | <0>2343<0>3118<0>1977<0>1007<0>327<0>3246<0>3972<0>3447<0>561<0>1569<0>1675<0>1715<0>1500<0>2799<0>512<0>698<0>1730<0>236<0>553<0>2703<0>3782<0>3377<0>2254<0>1511<0>653<0>3447<0>1171<0>2799<0>561<0>587<0>3008<0>3096<0>1500<0>2799<0>3299<0>2366<0>3393<0>2004<0>602<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<... |
It was just too quiet, too sudden, and it made me uneasy. | <0>3466<0>1238<0>151<0>698<0>374<0>3780<0>151<0>1981<0>545<0>678<0>2703<0>2703<0>400<0>3023<0>329<0>1719<0>3894<0>658<0>3535<0>3373<0>3894<0>2155<0>400<0>705<0>1389<0>1463<0>1171<0>3184<0>151<0>3176<0>3874<0>3585<0>2799<0>386<0>3585<0>2462<0>3457<0>2433<0>2669<0>3981<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>3... |

Where was the enemy? Headed back to Cambodia? Still on the mountain preparing to attack again? Headed north to the Ai Drang and its precious water? | <0>1120<0>1238<0>561<0>3067<0>1858<0>1532<0>3585<0>2703<0>1463<0>361<0>1769<0>2840<0>115<0>1213<0>1900<0>2873<0>1171<0>2935<0>2103<0>3024<0>382<0>3782<0>2599<0>2030<0>2152<0>1463<0>2471<0>2365<0>1882<0>3894<0>3585<0>512<0>3524<0>2135<0>2004<0>1748<0>3466<0>2550<0>3850<0>1858<0>3067<0>3809<0>3541<0>1518<0>974<0>324<0>15... |
And again, the old question. Where were the enemy 12.7 millimeter heavy anti-aircraft machine guns? If the enemy commander brought those weapons to bear on us from the mountain above, LZ X-ray with three American battalions crowding the clearing would present a beautiful target. | <0>3585<0>919<0>2875<0>3585<0>2703<0>587<0>3874<0>327<0>1200<0>3563<0>2471<0>190<0>3427<0>3679<0>748<0>3945<0>957<0>957<0>425<0>1834<0>1238<0>2703<0>3067<0>3096<0>3585<0>1195<0>2703<0>130<0>3561<0>149<0>1518<0>304<0>2274<0>974<0>623<0>2462<0>3821<0>1518<0>512<0>1238<0>327<0>1738<0>587<0>3146<0>2017<0>304<0>1463<0>148<0... |
I told Dylan to step up the harassing artillery fire and to keep the airstrikes coming in the slopes above us. | <0>2946<0>1587<0>1518<0>1422<0>3713<0>259<0>3373<0>2710<0>2060<0>2775<0>2883<0>366<0>366<0>614<0>2703<0>3122<0>974<0>2471<0>3150<0>1710<0>2471<0>3122<0>3966<0>3373<0>3146<0>3020<0>1944<0>3877<0>3976<0>259<0>2946<0>2288<0>1739<0>802<0>858<0>1915<0>1463<0>221<0>4034<0>2751<0>3561<0>2185<0>151<0>3185<0>2773<0>3501<0>2471<... |
I told him I wanted a picture perfect helicopter extraction covered by all the firepower we could bring to bear. | <0>4011<0>2429<0>1518<0>2753<0>3122<0>2989<0>2989<0>2864<0>1372<0>3541<0>3014<0>3447<0>409<0>3909<0>345<0>484<0>3943<0>746<0>1117<0>2309<0>2619<0>3122<0>958<0>2471<0>2864<0>3528<0>3303<0>1445<0>3813<0>2471<0>3877<0>2777<0>3184<0>3015<0>1588<0>1588<0>114<0>2427<0>2471<0>1518<0>229<0>3541<0>974<0>3970<0>2707<0>3435<0>173... |

That a Chinook, which is the big helicopter flies in with a bunch of photographers and television crews and reporters and they surround, they surround | <0>1062<0>3096<0>3447<0>313<0>3469<0>1461<0>1108<0>1989<0>1108<0>1029<0>3373<0>3624<0>3374<0>3373<0>3874<0>3750<0>1734<0>1981<0>1171<0>3457<0>895<0>871<0>2703<0>148<0>2703<0>2471<0>327<0>3377<0>366<0>678<0>1500<0>1213<0>1518<0>3972<0>2703<0>3096<0>1710<0>895<0>895<0>3541<0>1649<0>1238<0>243<0>1500<0>3180<0>1500<0>3457<... |
Colonel Moran, here we go. Back to the book. The other reporters now clustered around me. I told them that this had been a bitterly contested battle. That clearly we were up against a brave, determined, and very tough enemy in the North Vietnamese soldiers. | <0>3164<0>652<0>2142<0>1518<0>1191<0>3782<0>1500<0>698<0>3067<0>3968<0>219<0>366<0>130<0>345<0>2999<0>3377<0>1526<0>229<0>3404<0>196<0>3096<0>4009<0>3828<0>1518<0>895<0>974<0>782<0>1685<0>3972<0>1883<0>1990<0>824<0>3922<0>1579<0>3541<0>3972<0>1214<0>237<0>2961<0>3024<0>3973<0>1376<0>1376<0>1748<0>2864<0>2703<0>3850<0>2... |
But that American firepower, discipline, guts, and will to win had carried the day at LZ X-Ray. | <0>2135<0>3373<0>122<0>3447<0>3445<0>1214<0>3509<0>3185<0>3373<0>2420<0>1171<0>2155<0>1944<0>3782<0>3923<0>259<0>1518<0>1569<0>2471<0>1518<0>1518<0>1513<0>3767<0>1732<0>345<0>2710<0>3096<0>1710<0>2176<0>866<0>3447<0>587<0>2252<0>2122<0>1226<0>3222<0>1238<0>1321<0>3373<0>934<0>3235<0>2826<0>3787<0>3989<0>2703<0>586<0>14... |
Brave American soldiers.

My voice choked and my eyes filled with tears as I told the reporters that many of my men who had been killed in this place were only a matter of days away from completing their service in the army, but they fought and died bravely. | <0>614<0>599<0>1200<0>3067<0>3713<0>1258<0>3447<0>3067<0>149<0>1214<0>2703<0>286<0>1882<0>2703<0>3002<0>1730<0>492<0>2185<0>1500<0>3780<0>3002<0>368<0>1171<0>1715<0>3791<0>3373<0>226<0>1518<0>3898<0>2989<0>327<0>2548<0>3435<0>2989<0>492<0>1500<0>317<0>1752<0>2382<0>4003<0>191<0>3541<0>3541<0>1171<0>3585<0>3447<0>3968<0... |

And if you remember, we've talked about this before. Everyone was always, they wanted to talk about the body count in Vietnam, even at this early stage. And he was thinking about that back to the book. Now came the body count from the beginning of the fight.

So after each major action in this battle, hating it, I asked my company commanders for their best estimates of enemy killed. | <0>948<0>3373<0>2471<0>1777<0>3359<0>493<0>3176<0>512<0>1530<0>658<0>3146<0>2471<0>2748<0>553<0>1463<0>3184<0>231<0>2096<0>1518<0>3782<0>2471<0>327<0>2756<0>563<0>1481<0>2703<0>3585<0>3874<0>151<0>3668<0>359<0>1850<0>1195<0>1850<0>2525<0>2826<0>3972<0>2578<0>1007<0>1819<0>3874<0>3143<0>1214<0>304<0>3073<0>3447<0>1944<0... |
The battle raging back and forth over three days and two nights. It was anything but orderly. There was no referee to call time out for a body count. | <0>648<0>1579<0>1500<0>1500<0>2989<0>1500<0>1730<0>3585<0>3184<0>2703<0>3782<0>807<0>2594<0>895<0>1500<0>3150<0>1238<0>561<0>1944<0>151<0>1539<0>3096<0>1171<0>895<0>1655<0>221<0>512<0>1500<0>839<0>3535<0>492<0>3713<0>3668<0>3585<0>3096<0>3585<0>819<0>43<0>2989<0>3067<0>3348<0>3541<0>3305<0>1377<0>1383<0>2009<0>1588<0>1... |
We did the best we could to keep a realistic count of the enemy dead. | <0>1108<0>3894<0>1076<0>2185<0>871<0>1500<0>2826<0>954<0>493<0>3097<0>83<0>3894<0>3008<0>2710<0>3561<0>3348<0>3067<0>561<0>144<0>149<0>3894<0>2631<0>1108<0>2594<0>3782<0>2697<0>1329<0>1442<0>493<0>3585<0>151<0>3894<0>493<0>3096<0>3668<0>3929<0>2739<0>3222<0>3263<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0... |
In the end, it added up to 834 dead by body count with an additional. | <0>209<0>151<0>3585<0>3585<0>3821<0>1171<0>2152<0>3561<0>1850<0>1175<0>512<0>1812<0>1710<0>148<0>2161<0>580<0>327<0>3541<0>1238<0>1007<0>3541<0>368<0>2594<0>327<0>1238<0>3526<0>967<0>493<0>1117<0>1882<0>1117<0>1569<0>2703<0>2769<0>729<0>3972<0>3246<0>1815<0>2009<0>957<0>771<0>3435<0>1858<0>512<0>1076<0>191<0>1800<0>353... |

On my own, I cut the 834 figure back to 634, a personal allowance for the confusion and fog of war and let the 1,215 estimated stand. We captured and evacuated six enemy prisoners. | <0>3434<0>3972<0>1819<0>1850<0>729<0>3447<0>1007<0>2894<0>3303<0>2952<0>3566<0>1106<0>359<0>1500<0>1759<0>2488<0>327<0>1324<0>1209<0>2294<0>1253<0>2049<0>1738<0>915<0>561<0>3910<0>3348<0>3020<0>2594<0>1518<0>3972<0>3832<0>304<0>919<0>3894<0>345<0>3782<0>2810<0>1200<0>2525<0>2070<0>967<0>3447<0>1569<0>1738<0>1238<0>492<... |
Extracted off the battlefield, including Colonel Moore, he's the last man to leave. | <0>869<0>3968<0>2773<0>2881<0>2471<0>3377<0>3020<0>1882<0>3069<0>1500<0>1200<0>1579<0>1500<0>1500<0>2989<0>1944<0>561<0>3598<0>324<0>359<0>1857<0>1031<0>1989<0>3003<0>587<0>1819<0>492<0>3008<0>587<0>2827<0>1329<0>1748<0>2840<0>1376<0>1335<0>3466<0>1989<0>1989<0>955<0>3377<0>3972<0>2411<0>2989<0>2989<0>43<0>3637<0>327<0... |
And here we go back to the book. It was a short, fast ride to landing zone Falcon. | <0>2840<0>1169<0>587<0>3561<0>229<0>3968<0>3541<0>2989<0>2471<0>2896<0>871<0>229<0>2324<0>1214<0>1526<0>3713<0>2777<0>527<0>974<0>2594<0>561<0>2703<0>3447<0>3850<0>3435<0>1569<0>1902<0>3668<0>1441<0>3373<0>3067<0>1944<0>587<0>1751<0>2710<0>2799<0>3299<0>3143<0>3972<0>678<0>1338<0>2398<0>1117<0>3263<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068... |
Just five and a half miles east of x-ray. As we landed among the artillery pieces, I saw 75 yards away a group of my troopers off in the northwestern edge of the LZ. | <0>1697<0>3155<0>1701<0>3972<0>3782<0>512<0>1882<0>1850<0>2748<0>324<0>2989<0>1500<0>2989<0>2030<0>3585<0>3457<0>1467<0>1579<0>1882<0>1741<0>2773<0>1265<0>587<0>2809<0>499<0>563<0>128<0>2779<0>2567<0>1769<0>3447<0>1526<0>298<0>3373<0>3447<0>1171<0>2776<0>580<0>366<0>298<0>2471<0>2236<0>3966<0>259<0>3894<0>1318<0>3176<0... |
He captured the scene in his 1967 book, The Face of South Vietnam. And here's what Dean Breles wrote. How more was the last man to come out of the battle? It was the biggest battle he had ever fought. | <0>3657<0>3320<0>3821<0>2471<0>838<0>1858<0>1526<0>3535<0>3287<0>3585<0>3561<0>221<0>2376<0>99<0>831<0>4<0>3561<0>3176<0>2978<0>3373<0>304<0>2938<0>3585<0>587<0>2710<0>2060<0>658<0>2432<0>2462<0>3821<0>1518<0>1185<0>1238<0>3541<0>2864<0>1777<0>2044<0>3018<0>3003<0>3003<0>1108<0>3526<0>151<0>3861<0>3585<0>3561<0>2978<0>... |
He was a Lieutenant Colonel and he carried himself like a proud man. His Sergeant Major was at his side. | <0>3320<0>3067<0>2070<0>492<0>3348<0>3028<0>1710<0>4009<0>1418<0>1352<0>1569<0>3980<0>1518<0>2955<0>466<0>2288<0>3288<0>3281<0>527<0>3320<0>3823<0>2151<0>2375<0>553<0>3002<0>3782<0>304<0>259<0>3515<0>2864<0>3150<0>2471<0>2471<0>2864<0>2703<0>1835<0>1111<0>1079<0>648<0>648<0>648<0>648<0>1748<0>1748<0>1108<0>2492<0>1108<... |
But it was something that was love and manliness and pride. It was the moment of the brave. | <0>737<0>2629<0>2471<0>3305<0>3002<0>2775<0>2471<0>2368<0>1171<0>298<0>361<0>1243<0>2239<0>3647<0>2619<0>3067<0>3840<0>724<0>4072<0>1683<0>1683<0>492<0>593<0>1120<0>465<0>1950<0>2272<0>1366<0>1079<0>2497<0>2375<0>3447<0>3617<0>3776<0>2935<0>2070<0>2978<0>3729<0>2352<0>319<0>30<0>662<0>1211<0>275<0>3972<0>1882<0>2323<0>... |
Hal Moore turned and went from group to group of his men, and only a few bothered to get up because there was no exclusivity now. No rank. And Hal Moore did not want them to stand and salute. He was saluting them. He talked with them. He thanked them. | <0>1167<0>1500<0>1518<0>2471<0>221<0>304<0>484<0>1460<0>3373<0>2799<0>1518<0>1372<0>3184<0>3447<0>2684<0>2762<0>3972<0>1117<0>1309<0>3067<0>1434<0>1152<0>1937<0>3809<0>229<0>2152<0>3894<0>2710<0>493<0>3295<0>2323<0>1079<0>3233<0>465<0>3210<0>2122<0>675<0>2108<0>1786<0>3281<0>3445<0>3067<0>2935<0>698<0>2525<0>2506<0>345... |
There was no poverty of spirit in his handshake, and he shook every man's hand. | <0>1919<0>3067<0>3348<0>1715<0>3617<0>512<0>1575<0>514<0>2124<0>3329<0>2739<0>2152<0>2510<0>2619<0>1500<0>3176<0>512<0>2506<0>2826<0>538<0>151<0>512<0>2637<0>1076<0>2485<0>3535<0>2978<0>3976<0>3585<0>3457<0>3875<0>3447<0>1031<0>3189<0>55<0>1171<0>1568<0>2711<0>391<0>2840<0>3003<0>1989<0>1989<0>1989<0>1989<0>2492<0>2492... |

When their hour had come, they had done their job. And it was this thought too, that Al Moore, how more had in his mind.
