"Here we go, I said to myself as my system electrified with the familiar rush of adrenaline."

An elite unit armed to the teeth, the Mobile Guerrilla Force was America's only real guerrilla force in Vietnam. These men operated for weeks at a time--springing ambushes, destroying base camps, and gathering vital intelligence--in steamy, triple-canopied jungles ruled by the VC and NVA.

On July 18, 1967, Special Forces medic James Donahue and his platoon were on a mission, code-named Blackjack-34, to locate enemy units for the 1st Infantry to destroy. But instead a crack enemy battalion found them.

Now Donahue bears witness to the bloody events of that day and the exceptional grit and determination of his teammates. BLACKJACK-34 is a magnificent tribute to the warriors of Mobile Guerrilla Force--their courage, heroism, and willingness to make the ultimate sacrifice.

“It’s not easy to stay alive with a $1,000 bounty on your head.”

In 1967, a bullet cost thirteen cents, and no one gave Uncle Sam a bigger bang for his buck than the 5th Marine Regiment Sniper Platoon. So feared were these lethal marksmen that the Viet Cong offered huge rewards for killing them. Now noted Vietnam author John J. Culbertson, a former 5th Marine sniper himself, presents the riveting true stories of young Americans who fought with bolt rifles and bounties on their heads during the fiercest combat of the war, from 1967 through the desperate Tet battle for Hue in early ’68.

In spotter/shooter pairs, sniper teams accompanied battle-hardened Marine rifle companies like the 2/5 on patrols and combat missions. Whether fighting their way out of a Viet Cong “kill zone” or battling superior numbers of NVA crack troops, the sniper teams were at the cutting edge in the art of jungle warfare, showing the patience, stealth, combat marksmanship, and raw courage that made the unit the most decorated regimental sniper platoon in the Vietnam War. Harrowing and unforgettable, these accounts pay tribute to the heroes who made the greatest sacrifice of all–and leave no doubt that among 5th Marine snipers uncommon valor was truly a common virtue.

Vietnam: An American Ordeal provides a comprehensive narrative history of U.S. involvement in Southeast Asia, from 1942 to 1975. Unlike most general histories of U.S. involvement in Vietnam--which are either conventional, diplomatic or military histories--this text synthesizes the perspectives to explore both dimensions of the struggle in greater depth, elucidating more of the complexities of the U.S.-Vietnam entanglement. It explains why Americans tried so hard for so long to stop the spread of Communism in Indochina, and why they ultimately failed.

Here are my instructions. I do not understand offset at all. If someone could, would you perhaps simplify my instructor's instructions a bit? I'm not looking for an exact code answer, I don't want that. But I wouldn't mind an example of an offset of one of the situations my instructor is describing here. Thanks in advance. -INSTRUCTIONS- There are a variety of methods for calculating the correct weekday given a month, day and year. You are free to discover your own approach on the Internet but we recommend you use the following simplified version that works for any date between 1900 and 2099. One trick to realize is that January 1st, 1900 occurred on Monday. Every seventh day beyond that also fell on a Monday. You only have to determine how many days beyond January 1st, 1900 the current date occurred and then the calculation is pretty straight forward. Our approach will use an integer value called an "offset". We will add numbers to the offset depending on the century, number of leap years, years, month and date. 1. The offset begins with zero. 2. Increment the offset by 6 if the century is 2000. 3. Increment the offset by the number of years in the current century. For example, 1900 would be zero and 1961 would be '61'. 4. Increment the offset for each leap year that occurred in the current century. Recall that leap years occur every four years. Use integer division to determine how many leap years occurred. For example, there were two by 2009 and zero by 2001. 5. Increment the offset by 6 if the month is April or July. 6. Increment the offset by 3 if the month is March or November. 7. Increment the offset by 2 if the month is August. 8. Increment the offset by 5 if the month is September or December. 9. Increment the offset by 4 if the month is June. 10. Increment the offset by 1 if the month is May. 11. Increment the offset by 6 if the month is January AND is in a leap year. 12. Increment the offset by 2 if the month is February AND is in a leap year. 13. Increment the offset by 3 if the month is February AND is NOT in a leap year. 14. Increment the offset by the number of days. For example, looking for March 5th would add 5 and looking for February 27th would add 27. 15. Modulo the offset by seven. If the result is 0 then the day is Sunday. If the result is 1 then the day is Monday and so on. (more...)
