We were trained by four of the weirdest looking men who had been imported from the Central Highlands of Vietnam to teach us Jungle Warfare. They looked as if they just stepped out of the pages of National Geographic. Their primitive people, called Montagnards (Mon-tag-yards), had lived virtually undisturbed in the Mountainous Highlands of Vietnam for thousands of years. It was said by the Vietnamese people that they were such fierce fighters even the North Vietnamese Army (N.V.A.) gave their villages a wide easement.
