Pips & Cows. There were other reasons for confusion. In the darkness, every pip on the portable radar screens and every shadow under the periodic flares that burst over Hill 327 was suspect. One night a cow wandered innocently into range and was gunned down. Three Marines returning from a night patrol approached a sentry in the dark, and two were tragically killed when the nervous guard challenged and fired on them in a single, startled motion...
