  Private Joker : We're reporters from Stars and Stripes. I'm Sergeant Joker and this photographer here is Rafterman.

  Lt. Cleves : I'm Lt. Cleves and I'm from Hartford, Connecticut.

  Private Joker : We make it a body count here of 20 civilians.

  Lt. Cleves : We think it's twenty.

  Private Joker : Can you tell us how it happend?

  Lt. Cleves : Well, it seems that last night after the NVA captured Hue, they also had with them a list of various Gook names; government officials, ARVN officers, policemen, school teachers, etc. They went around to their houses, knocked on their doors and really politely asked them to report to the town square the next day for "political re-education". Everybody who turned up got shot. Some of them they buried alive.
