Vietnamese troops, who seldom weigh much more than 100 Ibs., move with considerable ease through the mud and can keep going from sunup to dark. Heavier Americans find themselves sinking deep into the slime, and U.S. advisers usually go on several short missions before they can take a full day's punishment in the paddies...
