Why Australian SAS Stopped Shaving and Showering in Vietnam — VC Could Smell Americans Miles Away
Why Australian SAS Stopped Shaving and Showering in Vietnam — VC Could Smell Americans Miles Away September fourteenth, nineteen sixty-six. A US infantry platoon walks straight toward a Viet Cong ambush. Four hundred meters away, an Australian SAS operator watches through binoculars. He doesn't see them first. He smells them. Old Spice aftershave. Ivory soap. Marlboro cigarettes. He radios the American commander, stops the patrol, saves thirty-seven lives. The Americans ask how Charlie knew they were coming. The Australian answers: Mate, I could smell you from a kilometer away. So could they.
