Why didn't they? There were a few of these company size compounds spread out in little villiages around Quhon. The 597th trans co was overrun in Jan 68. The VC came through the main gate at night, shot the place up a little and blew an outhouse [shiter] with a satchel charge then ran back out. No one on eather side was hurt. [VC with a sence of humor?]The 597th kept their weapons locked up in the arms room at night and only issued them before convoys. True story, I was there the next day and saw the carnage of the blow up shiter. [My buddies now think the VC did not want to hurt anyone because most of their relatives worked for us during the day.] Us REMF's in Quhon had to have our hootch girls to polish our boots and make our beds you know.] It was a hard adjustment moving to Way without them, opening your own c'ration cans etc.
