My dad did 5 tours dropping snake and nape all over the north and south of the country.

I still have my jars with 186 preserved left ears I took off the Cong and NVA I killed during battles in my three tours.
On occasion we would go to Côn Sơn to drop off prisoners and to make room the S Vietnamese guards would chum for sharks and toss in the prisoners they did not want, alive. Now that was pretty cold hearted.
