How does he know it's a VC alligator?

Very cool mini dio – US troops were killed by alligators.

Thanks Tango.

Not sure there are any alligators in VN, certainly not in nature. Crocodiles, yes, but this guy is a monster. Bit slow though, he should have had that unfortunate from the 1st Cavalry before he had any chance to aim his automatic. Incredible how fast they strike.

Now my bet is on the human bean, who seems to be aiming right at the reptile's brain stem. Good choice in a real emergency.

YouTube has a video describing the experience of a LRRP team which lost of of its member without trace one night while while hunkered down in some dense jungle. The mystery was apparently solved when the culprit was found and killed –

Never sure of the difference between crocs and gators…

I have googled many times but can never seem to remember.

Vietnamese call both animals 'cá sấu' so that added to my confusion.

Crocs have a narrow jaw, gators have a rounded snout.

I guess that's another reason not to get off the boat!
