...positions. Not so. It is poorly defended. To the soldiers along Route 2, which cuts through Takhmau to Phnom-Penh, the situation looks bleak. They feel that the government has done little for them. They complain about the corruption of the Lon Nol regime. One soldier, a deep orange flower stuck in the band of his helmet, asks as he takes time out from battle to fix some rice for a meager lunch: "Where are all the medicines? We don't see them out here.
