| At LZ Ross. Left to right: unknown, Terry Oldham, unknown, Frank Rodriquez, Max Johnson. One of these weapons is probably the one Kimo Peleiholani took from the gook he killed. When Peleiholani was killed a couple of days later the First Sergeant said it was to go to Peleiholani's friend, John Pedro. Don't know if he got it or not. One day I was in at Ross and some new guys looking for some helpful hints were talking to some old guys who were looking for a chance to show off. Somebody mentioned how AK-47s and M-16s sound different. M-16s pop and AKs crack they were told. No sooner had these words been uttered than someone out on the line with access to an AK let loose with a burst. All the old guys were instantly on the ground and the new guys were sitting there looking at us like we were idiots. |
