The TENSE Hours Charlie Company Refused in Vietnam

📍On April 6, 1970, in War Zone C near the Cambodian border, Sergeant Gene Dunnuck of Charlie Company, 2nd Battalion, 7th Cavalry looked at a narrow dirt track covered in fresh NVA tracks and told his lieutenant he would not walk it. His squad backed him, then his whole platoon, and Captain Al Rice, twenty four years old and four days in command, took the point himself with six men and walked out onto that road alone while a hundred infantrymen watched from the treeline. What the newspapers called a rebellion was something else entirely, and the reason nobody could settle the argument was locked inside a radio that Charlie Company had never been issued. - - 📚 Every story shared on TalesFromNam is told with profound respect for those who lived through the Vietnam War.
