Nightly Siege Over Mekong Delta Hamlet Cho Bung
In Cho Bung Vietnam a rubber-sandaled militia guard fires two shots each dusk from a 20 foot tower signaling a prolonged state of siege. The village remains cut off except for a military radio and five teachers who ride ten miles to My Tho daily, their stay nightless.
