GLASSER, M.D.1971SEARCH AND DESTROYIt was 115 degrees in the sun, and what little shade there was offered no relief. A dull, suffocating dryness hung over the paddies, making it almost impossible to breathe. By seven-thirty, the troopers were already covered with a thin, dusty layer of salt. Instead of swallowing their salt pills, they walked along chewing them two or three at a time.

The sweet smell of marijuana drifted along with them.

The rest of the patrol threw themselves on the ground.That evening, the company was mortared—two rounds that sent the already exhausted troopers scurrying for shelter.
