HUNTING

From Kontum to Ban Me Thuot
Monsoon rain and jungle heat
In the highlands we walked through it
Never saw a Saigon street

From Camp Enari to Pleiku
From Dak To to Tuy Hoa
That’s all we ever do
The order of battle we draw

Hunting the Bong Son littoral
Driving, driving without rest
Another mission for fire they call
Laying mortars on a machine gun nest

From An Khe through the Mang Yang pass
To Sui Dau, an old French fort
How much longer will this last
Until Vung Tau – an R&R resort
