| Summary |
Fifteen Marines and Navy Corpsmen recount their journey from enlistment through the 77-day Siege of Khe Sanh during the Vietnam War. One of the longest sieges in the history of American warfare, 6000 Marines were surrounded by elements of three crack North Vietnamese divisions. They could see the NVA working in their trenches, and endured relentless rocket and artillery fire. Still today the Khe Sanh experience simmers just beneath their skin. Meet the men who were just boys in 1968, and travel with them through their ferocious experience in that wet and isolated battleground, fighting fear and the enemy only to return home to a nation at odds with this controversial war |
