By dusk the army had forced him and the junta to agree to disband all irregular forces. Then the cadets and regular army soldiers marched the battered survivors of the anti-Communist Army of Liberation like P.W.s right through the capital's Sixth Avenue to a train that carried them back to their old headquarters...
