Uhh yeah both of you go back and re-read the thread.

I recommended in cold blood.

Never said they were the same thing? Not sure where you got that from. I just didnt include the picture of in cold blood in the 2nd one bc I was trying to find the name of "Son" beforehand.

I just finished Matterhorn, a novel about a company of marines in Vietnam. It's a good novel from a grunt's point of view, but jumps into politics too and the racial tension in the US military in Vietnam.

***SPOILERS**** Early in the novel they build a heavily fortified LZ on a hill called "Matterhorn" but abandon it. The NVA occupy it, and later they are ordered to take it back and take heavy casualties. They are then surrounded by an NVA regiment who uses them as bait for the rest of the Marine division, shelling Matterhorn relentlessly and using sappers and snipers. They almost run out of ammo, and in desperation the survivors use the fog at night to get into the jungle and retreat to a nearby hill, where eventually choppers get in for a resupply and reinforcement. The NVA move back on Matterhorn, and the company is ordered to retake it. By the end of the novel there are about 5 guys left from the original Bravo company.
