Ben Suc, S. Vietnam

Alternate Titles

Ben Suc, S. Vietnam: A Vietnamese boy is not concerned with war as he amuses himself by playing with an old woman's hand 1/14. But horror is reflected in the face of the old woman, for she is watching this village, in the Viet Cong-controlled Iron Triangle, become a ghost town. American and Vietnamese troops evacuated the last of the villagers 1/14 during operation Cedar Falls. The bulldozers then moved in to knock down the buildings and destroy the tunnels under them to deprive the Viet Cong of a sanctuary.
