...distinctive green berets, fashion crude villages of thatched huts, canvas and pine logs in the woods, act out roles as insurgents or villagers battling for control. Defenders whittle branches into spikes, set them upright under leaves to lame invaders. To show the "natives" how to treat wounds, a friendly medic snaps the neck of a rabbit, slits its belly open for a blood-and-guts anatomy lesson. "This is the liver." he explains. "These are the intestines...
