Oh geez, ain't it the truth?
Our little compound at Ban Me Thuot was way too small for a roach coach. But we did have momma sans.
We also used Montagnard mercenaries as night guards on the perimeter. Every evening, we'd watch the momma sans go out the gate and the 'yards come in. If the 'yards would come in with an M-16 and a rolled hammock (which they'd stretch out in the gaurd houses and sleep all night) and the momma sans went out walking normally, then everything was calm for that night,
BUT... if the 'yards came in with a rifle and a box of ammo, and the momma sans walked out bowlegged, we knew two things: we'd be getting hit that night and we'd be getting back all the "borrowed" mortar rounds that went out slung under their skirts!
Lessee now, how to get back to original topic...Hmmm...Oh yeah! If that's not the servants' quarters or the kitchen back there, maybe it's the (wink, wink) penthouse suite.
