"Wish I had a forgetin' cold beer." I put my rifle down and wipe the sweat from under my helmet in disgust. "Can't we just get this over with?"

"Yeah, don't we all..."  Henry said, before an NVA soldier approached him, "Xin chào người đàn ông, tôi có thể nhận được ánh sáng? Tôi cần một khói."
"Whoa, man I don't want trouble."
"Thôi nào người đàn ông chỉ cho tôi mượn bật lửa."
"Just, just back away, gook."  he said as he hopped off the rock, backing away from him slowly.
"Đừng gọi tôi là gook chết tiệt!" the soldier said, pulling a switchblade and stepping aggressively toward him.  Henry pulled his 1911 suddenly, and without thinking, shoots the man.

I see a NVA soldier approach Henry. They both start yelling. Before I move, the NVA soldier is dead. I stuff my Cigarettes away and quickly pick up my fully-loaded M14. I flick the safety off.
While keeping the stock to my soldier, I yell.
"Uh, what do we do now? Fire?"

"Whoa SHI-" I quickly grab my 16 and aim it at the injured Vietnamese soldier. I look over at <mlockha> "forget no are you stupid?!"

"I was... I was def-" Henry is cut short suddenly by the sound of machine gun fire tearing through the air, bullets kicking up dirt in front of him.  "stuff!  He screamed, diving behind the rock he was previously sitting on as the machine gun fire stopped.  He turned the safety off on his M16, pulling back the charging handle and shutting his eyes.  "stuff, stuff, stuff, stuff."

how big is the rock blazer and can any more people fit behind it

Like 1 more person I guess.

Like 1 more person I guess.
Ill let miko dive there if he wants

I duck behind the wall and yell.
"He probably just wanted a smoke henry! This is why we need translators!"

I curl up into a ball behind some small rock to where I couldn't get shot. I pull the microphone from the side of my radio, "Command this is Alpha four, the switch is no joy! They're firing at us! How copy?!"

"Solid Copy Alpha, maintain. We'll try to get reinforcements ASAP. Hope you aren't the one that forgeted this up because whoever did is in deep stuff, out."

"Roger!" I hang the phone back up and pick up my rifle, staying behind cover.

"Yo, <mikoyan>, did you secure something? Air Cav? Reinforcements?"

"what the forget is a yo?! And why would they send acav? They're sending reinforcements just shut up and shoot."

"what the forget is a yo?! And why would they send acav? They're sending reinforcements just shut up and shoot."
"Fine."
I quicky pop my head out, and a bullet goes whizzing by. I quickly pop my head back in.
"Do you know their ETA?"

Henry popped up from his cover and took shots at the machine gunner, before ducking back down as the machine gunner began suppressing him.  "God damn it!"  he shouted.  He leaned around the corner, to see the NVA soldier he had shot writing in the dirt.  He looked back and forth, before reaching out slowly to grab the soldier's boot.  He began dragging him toward the rock, and once he was close enough, grabbed him by his shin with both of his hands.  He propped him up against the rock, blood running slowly from his back and onto the rock.  "Hey, hey, stay awake man!"  The soldier merely groaned.

The NVA, easily outgunned and outnumbered at the time jump into their vehicle, bullets still whissing by.
"God damn it Henry! The forget did you do?! I hate these bastards as much as you but just restarted the damn war!"

He takes pot shots off with his M14 as he runs toward one of the US M135's. The NVA start up the truck and scramble off in the opposite direction and just a second later, three mortars smack in the area where the truck used to be.

"Holy stuff, what the forget? Why did you call in mortar pops?"

"He pulled a loving knife on me!  I was defending myself!"  Henry shouted, looking at the wounded man.  "Come on, come on.  Uh, uh... chào anh, uh, được sống.  Oh god damnit this is a complicated language."  he says.  He takes off his trauma bag, setting it up against the rock and opening it while applying pressure to the wound with his free hand.
