Two Front War in Viet Nam Hidden in Delta
In Can Tho Viet Nam South, Lt Col Homer Owsley Jr and U S advisors watch a two front war unfold.

A traveling minstrel show promotes anti VC messaging while Vietnamese regional forces train in a former French HQ. In Phong Dinh province 203000 live under government control, 140000 under VC control, 75000 contested. VC strength remains but quality appears lower, with local fear of the Viet Cong growth.
