When U.S. support was removed, it was not long before many ARVN soldiers simply forgot what they had learned under American tutelage. "Our G.I.s were always telling us not to bunch up, not to bunch up," laughed a South Vietnamese soldier near Xuan Loc last week. "That's all I remember-'don't bunch up.'"
