Blending In With The Surroundings

Kienthuc

If you think that this platoon of American soldiers is blending in with their surroundings, think again. Though their combat fatigues offer them some camouflage, it pales in comparison on how camouflaged the Viet Cong were in the jungles. This was their home, and they utilized a deadly mix of guerilla and conventional tactics with their familiarity of the terrain and that provided them a distinct advantage. They were masters in tactical reconnaissance, not just in hiding and laying booby traps, and even if they were constantly on the move, they never made much noise, regardless how big the force in question is.
