(and us, unfortunately) by making him stay outside for a change.  It was truly one of the most amazing clusterf**** that I have ever witnessed.  Only by the grace of God (who must be a marine) were my men and I spared from a horrible death brought on by inviting the g**** into our "safe" LZ for coffee and b*** j***.  Their lack of common sense did get one of their own men killed, but I still haven't figured out how.  I know it had something to do with the obelisk, but I don't know what.  It definitely gave me the creeps.  The next day the colonel showed back up with a bunch of o.g.a.s and lifted the obelisk away.  He then strangely told us to "hump it back to the village and await for pick up there" as he flew away with our radio. I’m still not quite sure whose side he was on.   Well it was no easy task, but we made it back to the village only to find everyone gone.  As we waited for nightfall to steal some food from the village, we spotted a jeep.  I took out the gunner, and Sanchez killed the driver and then ran up to hold the passenger at bay.   He was looking for us - turns out he found us the hard way.  I decided it was best to let the chips fall where they may instead of covering up my mistake.  We rode back to Pleiku where we met a mysterious man who obviously wields much power.  He decided that we should trade a favor for a favor and sent us back to base with orders that explained our whereabouts.  He also gave us food and a jeep, not bad for a blind guy.  So we drove back to base and gave the major my report on being attached to an ARVN unit (which turns out isn't so cool - but that's another story).-Jack Johnson</blockquote>
