HIST 2023 : Red Thunder Notes
Document Summary
Saigon capital south vietnam: south vietnamese. Units that they fought under front command main force units. Communist leaders of the front the party: north vietnamese army nva. Immediately exiting the plane hot humid air surrounded is as though we were prisoners. A heavy wet air that just stuck to your body after coming out of that air-conditioned environment on the plane. Sweet smell of incense was in the air. Could smell it around the villages, especially at night. The first thing that hits you is the heat & the incredible, oppressive humidity. The heat, the rural makeup of the population, the burning of wood incense, & the poverty of the country combined to give it a distinct odor. The air stunk: like a room that"s been closed up for a long time and it"s been damp, & when you open the door, the mildew would hit you in the face.
