TRANSCRIPT: SEQ. 3: KY: "If you cannot get your men home by channels of negotiations then you have got to sue every means to try to free them. Now the operations are over, I realise that the area is my home town in the north. If you tell me before than, I (would have) volunteered to go with the task force, because my knowledge about the terrain and everything can be a great help. And I think next time, if we have to do this again, I will return with many other volunteers of our Vietnamese country to share the same responsibility with your team".
