Trouble was, the V.C. had herded 390 women and children into the tunnel with them. So Utter chose the humane way, shoving into the tunnel mouth 48 canisters of CN, a mild tear gas that is briefly aggravating to eyes and nose, has no other effect whatsoever. Out streamed the Viet Cong, and the 390 captives into the hands of the marines...
