They are mere trails that turn into mud 2 feet deep during the rainy season. One unique aspect of this fortressfought war is that. as our perimeters expand. we find that we are providing sanctuary for the civilians. Wherever I went in Vietnam there were refugees coming into the areas controlled by the Government. Refugees are created by many circumstances. True. some people became refugees because their homes were destroyed by bombardment. But most of them are escaping from the terrorism. forced conscription. extortion. heavy taxation. and food confiscation of the Vieteong. I spoke directly with the refugees. through an interpreter working for our AID Mission. Over and over again I heard the same story. Living conditions were such under Vietcong control as to make life virtually unbearable.
