I had been in Vietnam about 3.5 months and it wasn't the first time I had been shot at. When this started, I panicked so bad that I almost jumped out of the truck into the jungle with my M-14 for cover. I don't know what stopped me. The road [path] was only wide enough for one vehecle, so I would have blocked half the people behind me in the kill zone. a lot of people would have died because of me.
