VIETNAM
THE DOOM PATROL
In February 1968, Marines withdrawing from an
operation in the mountains west of Da Nang were
unable to carry out a private who had been killed.
Later, a small group went back into enemy territory
to get the body—an apparent suicide mission.

BULLETS FROM THE REAR
Battles are often won by superior firepower
on the front lines. But first the ammo
behind the lines has to get there.
