...Marine company at the Citadel, Greenway decided to go forward with a squad that was assigned to knock out a North Vietnamese army machine-gun post. As the squad reached a wall still standing amid the rubble, a Marine stood up to look through what had been a window, and an enemy soldier shot him through the neck. Greenway and a medical corpsman dragged the victim to the company command post, and once out of the line of fire, laid him down on a road behind a burned...

Not long ago, the Union Leader happily featured a Manchester gravestone dealer who had placed a sign in his showroom window: "Save every bomb for Russia." No use wasting good bombs on North Viet Nam, this man-in-the-street told a reporter. "We must deal directly with our enemy...
