Although it isn't of grave importance, they were not able to complete the killing in one day as mentioned.<br /><br />"While the assault troops trained for the battle to come, VC intelligence officers prepared a list of "cruel tyrants and reactionary elements" to be rounded up during the early hours of the attack.[8] This list included most South Vietnamese officials, military officers, politicians, American civilians, and other foreigners. After capture, these individuals were to be evacuated to the jungle outside the city where they would be punished for their crimes against the Vietnamese people."<br /><br />"While the PAVN and VC assault troops roamed the streets freely and consolidated their gains, political officers began a reign of terror by rounding up the South Vietnamese and foreigners on the special lists. VC officers marched through the Citadel, reading out the names on the lists through loudspeakers and telling them to report to a local school. Those that did not report were hunted down.[11] The detainees were never seen alive again; their fate was not apparent until after the U.S. and South Vietnamese forces recaptured the Citadel and nearly 3,000 civilians were found massacred and buried in mass graves." <br /><br />The Battle for Hue, 1968<br />http://www.namsouth.com/viewtopic.php?t=5010&highlight=hue&sid=cb062a26aac95c576b0f7d375e45e1a8Brock Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11404173139501539265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114877411975379535.post-16837337257813662322013-04-15T14:34:35.910-05:002013-04-15T14:34:35.910-05:00Your best post ever. 100% spot on!Your best post ever. 100% spot on!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114877411975379535.post-2771571464490960992013-04-15T08:20:53.555-05:002013-04-15T08:20:53.555-05:00Miss V. ...
