A Colonel no less got around the "you can't bring squat back" MP's??!! Surprise..Surprise...as us "grunts" had to go through all those physical searches. I'll read the article. But frankly I never saw a "VC" carrying a shotgun..then again I was in II Corps for both tours....Darlac Plateau area NW of Ban Me Thout 66-67 and Kontum second tour 68 with FOB-2 MACVSOG...and it was all NVA regulars there. Maybe the Colonel was in the Delta (IV Corps) in the early years of the war? (Somehow that gets me P.O'd even at 50 years distance when I think about the Montagnard crossbows, etc., taken from me...RHIP...but I don't have much patience for that anymore).
I do know a guy in Afghanistan who found a 1930's Harley down in Qandahar and brought it back - or was it an Indian? I forgot.
