Infantry on Guard. Danang, the country's second largest city and the coastal hub of northernmost I Corps, suffered greater damage. Rockets and mortar rounds poured into the city as well as into surrounding military installations. Chain explosions rocked an ammunition dump, setting huge fires raging and pumping black smoke high into the sky. A Marine hangar at the airfield was damaged. Incoming rounds hit a bare 200 yards from the headquarters of the Third Marine Amphibious Force, damaging the naval support headquarters just across the Danang River...

Yet they are widely described as mere tools of the true decision makers. The great scholars of American politics have largely ignored them: neither Tocqueville nor Lord Bryce nor Sir Denis Brogan take them very seriously. Yet these seemingly faceless men and women are now at the focus of national attention...
