** The Green Berets fresh off [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Lang_Vei Lang Vei]] and pissed off at the Marines were part of a real incident where the loyal indigenous soldiers and their families weren't allowed into the Marine camp for food and shelter because the paranoid Marine commander feared North Vietnamese infiltrators were among them.
