Jan 19th we got rocketed.
I was at the SP forces camp (the only time I was in Lang Vie) getting some ammo for a M2 carbine that I acquired. and here come these 6 to 8 foot long black rockets from about 2 clicks away, I watched them fire the thing and could see the black projectile coming at us. The Duster that I was next to opened up with 40 mm but his round were well short of the launch site, On line but short. I went back to the position out side the wire of Lang Vie and found the whole crew of the Duster all happy and elated with the supposedly return of fire on the NVA position.
I got with the commander and told him that his rounds were about a click short and proceeded to show him on the map where his round hit and where the rockets were coming from. They continued to celebrate as me and the LT made eye contact. What ever dude, I wasn't going to tell the crew.
