On the other hand, U.S. Special Service troops-"Sneaky Petes"-have made dramatic progress in the north by winning over and training the dark-skinned, aboriginal montagnards. Though they have for centuries been victimized by the lowland Vietnamese, who contemptuously call them Moi (savages), 150,000 montagnards now belong to an aggressive, native force. Help for Bananas.

To Jung, that was proof enough that Western man had "plunged down a cataract of progress," drawing him away from the unfinished business of the Middle Ages, the last age when man nakedly confronted the issues of good, evil and his God before he was distracted by material progress.
