...explosion had taken out the leaders of the 1st Platoon. With both the lieutenant and sergeant out of commission, command fell on the shoulders of Perez, the senior soldier left standing. "Sergeant Perez!" Kraft yelled over the roar of war to Perez, around 75 yards away. "You're now the platoon leader...
Perez couldn't worry about the lousy intelligence that had got them into this mess. His job was to keep his men focused on their mission and to avoid using up all their ammunition. Mortar shells and machine-gun rounds were running short, but the roar of air strikes and the concussions of 2,000-lb. bombs in the mountains were good for morale. B-52 bombers, F-16 and F-18 fighter-bombers, and AC-130 and AH-64 gunships were pulverizing caves and crags. Perez's men set their M-4s to fire single shots instead of three...

This is white-water rafting, Xishuangbanna-style. Granted, the rapids on this particular stretch of the Nam Baan river, a chocolatey tributary of the Mekong, don't quite deliver Grand Canyonesque white-knuckle thrills. But when you're sitting in a wobbly chair, sliding around atop 20-odd lengths of bamboo lashed together with twine, any white water is, frankly, too much...
