Many actions in Vietnam-like Korea-took place at night which greatly reduced the effectiveness of aimed fire.
And for every Carlos Hathcock and Adelbert Waldron there is someone like the
member of my squad in BCT-Fort Dix, C-4-2, Summer of 1967.
Company Commander: "How come you only fired 31 at Record Fire ?!"
Recruit (wears glasses): "I couldn't see the targets, Sir!"
Company Commander: "Why not ?!"
Recruit: "I had a cold, Sir!"
