As preparations get underway for the Dak To engagement, âÇÖJournalâÇÖ ventures out into the jungle but ends up escorting a pregnant villager to safety only to discover sheâÇÖs really with the enemy. And afterwards, as a battle rages towards occupying a hill that has no significant value, âÇÖJournalâÇÖ finds he has to deal with both choking gas and Vietcong snipers.
