I’m coming in late but in 1973 we we were scouting a rice paddy with a tree in the middle. Lt. told me to scout out the grove. About three quarters I heard something so Icrawled back and said there is a baby or SOMETHING crying up there. I told him it sounded like a baby and a freight train. He said go back and see if you see anything. I started crawling back and this old sgt. on his third trip said “Stay where you are.” He went to the LT. and all of a sudden we moved out. I asked SGT Bevoir what happened and he said I had crawled up on a King cobra (that is what was making that noise) and it probably was trailing me back and could (would) attack any of us including the LT.
Thanks, great story...
and thank you soldier for your service to our country!
