Cat Quiet (LRRP Rangers Vietnam)

Cat Quiet (LRRP Rangers Vietnam) "Cat Quiet" is Volume III in the series of Vietnam short stories entitled, "LRRP Rangers Vietnam", following "Eleven Bravo" and "Here Comes Charlie".With striped face paint and tiger fatigues, four LRRPs creep through the jungle. Cat quiet stealth is their only ally, allowing them to achieve their goal: a safe perch on a mountainside plateau from which they can maintain a lookout over a vast valley in the mountains of Vietnam's central highlands, but the idyllic scene is not as it seems.The LRRPs of Vietnam (Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol) were the cavalry scouts of their war, traveling by helicopter rather than mustangs into remote and unfriendly territory. The mountainous jungles of the central highlands were especially inhospitable, filled with snakes and wild animals, and criss crossed with the tributaries of the Ho Chi Minh trail that lay hidden beneath the thick, triple-canopy jungle foliage. It was the job of small teams of LRRPs to penetrate the ridges and valleys of the rainforest to track and identify enemy activity.This short story is less about patriotism and heroism than it is about the gut-wrenching reality for the Vietnam combat soldier. If you're looking for action-adventure, this series is not for you. Combat soldiers are celebrated for simply doing their best to get by, not as superheroes, but as young men who often acted heroically but sometimes foolishly in circumstances not of their own choosing. One reviewer commented "the bond and the folly of immortal combat ring loud and clear from the page, and the story's told with all the realism, language and pathos of experience." The mood of the stories is dark and somber rather than triumphalistic: a hauntingly honest and brutally true retelling rather than a glorification of the Vietnam experience.The author refers to the series as "autobiographical fiction". They are based on true incidents, but the stories are told with literary embellishment. The author served with K Company, 75th Infantry (Rangers) in the central highlands of Vietnam in 1969-70, and he was twice awarded a bronze star for valor in combat.
