Ly Quang -- obsessed with slaughtering Americans -- had sent word of an entire Marine company. She knew full well that Cuong would respond with the largest force available, which in this case was half a battalion. Our people quickly saw that they faced no more than a platoon, and told us so... a very well-handled platoon. Hard to outflank, harder still to take frontally. But that was all. Of course, by then it was too late. 
Strange as it sounds, some of those men survived the war. They remember Nick Fury, not as some hard-charging caricature, but as an extremely patient man of almost supernatural stillness. Who did not even give the impression of waiting for his chance. Who was, therefore, obviously completely lethal.
It had been seventy-two hours since Nick Fury arrived at Hỏa Lò Prison. Captain Castle and his allies had wisely waited for their moment. Their reasoning seemed sound. Colonel Fury, after all, had experienced our hospitality before. Had been in similar straits throughout his life. If anyone could stand harsh treatment, it was he. And soon enough, if all went well, he would be safely back in Saigon. Alas. In just three days... in the place Americans called the Hanoi Hilton... the Colonel's hosts could accomplish quite a lot.
Whether you take up arms, crusade for truth or revel in the scandal, let all who read these documents understand: In my mind, these two are not what they became. Not a hollow man, broken in the end by his war's cold duplicity. Not some battlefield ghost in search of lasting death. What they are to me is difficult to say. But... if a man's life be judged by the enemies he makes... then mine was filled with riches.
