Looking for Sgt Clinton from the story about “BABE” the dog

I read the story about Babe on this site. I remember "BABE" & Sgt Clinton. I am Cpl. Clarence Mann who in Vietnam I served with Sgt. Clinton who saved my life during an attack on Dong Ha. I was the Marine that drove Sgt Clinton in to town one night where he jumped off the back of the truck. If you read this please contact me at email: read more

Flaming Rats

Here is another rat story. While my platoon was in Hoi An, we had squad tents to sleep in. Due to the fact there wer so many pallets laying around ,we started to put them in the tents to keep our gear and cots out of the mud. This was a perfect place for the rats. They got so bad we started having a weekly rat round up. Due to the fact we were Amtrackers, sometimes known as tractor rats, we had access to gas and oil, not to mention oil cans that could squirt a nice stream of oil. One fireteam of men would drive the rats out of the tent and an ambush team would burn them as they ran out. We had good ole Zippos. We would strike the lighters and squirt a stream of gas and oil accross the flame. A really great small flame thrower. One way to have some fun and get rid of rats. read more
