MACV Compound - Tet 1968 - Wkipedia

 

Listening Post
 
The air was cold and paper thin
Each breath was deep and fast
A chill to the bone far within
Damp skin had a purple cast
 
Rustling leaves on the jungle floor
The snap of a trip wire flare
The perimeter guards closed the door
Tracers streaming everywhere
 
The LP yelling “rawhide”
As they run for the corridor
Knowing they’re safer inside
As the duster light explores
