Are these war photos?

I noticed an absence of the Vietnam War in the photographs in your portfolio. I was a door-gunner during 1969-70; the area of operation was from the DMZ in the North to Duc Pho in the South. My images of the Montagnards during the Vietnam War are diametrically opposed to the the photographs you pre- sent. I remember small, soldierly men moving around a compound which was situated atop a hill. The hill had been fortified by the French and the location of the mines which they had laid for the Viet Cong was no longer known to anyone. The only way in and out of that bare-earth compound was by helicopter. I also recall women and children living in that place. I assumed they were the family of the men who help- ed the Americans fight the VC. I guessed they had to live with their men or else the VC would kill them. The Montagnards were known to be fierce fighters alongside the American soldiers who were attached to them. I understand they were the original habitants of Vietnam until they were driven out of the lowlands and into the less-fertile hills. I compare them to our Native Americans who were moved by force from their ancestral land by the American settlers and miners. Unlike the ARVN's (some of who were known to desert their unit during a fire-fight and return later), Montagnards were reput- ed to always "hang tight" with their American allies and fight to the end or to the finish. This meant alot to the "Grunts". I guessed there was an ancient hatred between the Montagnards and the Vietnamese. The American military relied on this hate in a combat situation.
