This was an outstanding video, SFC Davis!
I wonder where 'Hero' is today and if the LT ever became the businessman he wanted to be.
Thanks for posting this.

Very typical deep jungle patrol
can't see shit
can't hear shit
Then all hell breaks loose and you gotta hunt for the shit, then blow a hole in the trees for a dustoff sling knowing every VC for 5k around knows exactly where you are as the dustoff has to hover for what seems like forever.
Ahhhh the memories lol
