The Mission So Secret Everyone Had to Resign First

Thunder cracks overhead as monsoon clouds swallow the North Vietnamese jungle, hiding entire columns of NVA troops as they drive supply trucks and artillery through the storm. The men march with confidence. No enemy could possibly spot them through the wall of wind and rain. Suddenly, a low roar cuts through the grey skies. Some swear they see a shadow flicker above. "Just more thunder!" a commander shouts, but before he is even done talking, the bomb hits. Trucks cartwheel through the air, crashing upside down in the mud. Troops can barely dive out of the way. Some men raise their rifles skyward, but can see nothing through the pouring rain. Then comes another strike. Entire gun crews are torn apart in seconds. As word reaches Hanoi, commanders demand to know how it is possible for the Americans to have found them in the middle of a monsoon. The strikes were too precise for luck. Somewhere in the mountains, the enemy must have a secret new weapon, one capable of finding the North Vietnamese even when flying blind. And whatever it is, it has to be destroyed.
