On the second day in Cambodia an AP reporter, photographer and I were taken to a NVA\/VC\u00a0training camp in the jungle near the border with Vietnam.\u00a0 The photographer was Henri Huet, well-known AP photographer who had covered the wars in Vietnam for many years, first with the French and then the Americans (http:\/\/www.apimages.com\/Collection\/Landing\/Photographer-Henri-Huet-Vietnam-War\/f8713143bd31444684a7db49d8846231<\/a>).\u00a0 Getting to the camp required a half days trek on a trail through the jungle terrain. \u00a0Just before we got to the camp\u00a0the troops burned down a hooch similar to the one pictured here.\u00a0 Their reasoning was that because it was\u00a0so close to an NVA\/VC\u00a0 training camp its\u00a0owners must have been sympathetic to the enemy.<\/p>\n

Once we arrived at the camp, the AP reporter, Huet and myself walked about the camp. \u00a0Huet went immediately to a four foot deep burial pit hastily carved in the red clay where several enemy\u00a0bodies lay rotting in the sun.\u00a0 Walking up to the edge of the pit he began taking pictures.\u00a0 A few minutes later we were shown personal artifacts of a former North Vietnamese Army soldier including a picture of Ho Chi Minh carefully protected in a plastic cover.\u00a0 After this \u201cphoto op\u201d we boarded a chopper back to the\u00a0staging area in Vietnam.
