- Synopsis
-
United States Army Captain Jonathan Bromhead spearheads a Special Forces mission into the Laotian highlands to train a group of Meo tribesmen to hamper enemy traffic on the Ho Chi Minh Trail.
But Bromhead is double shocked by his discovery in the Meo settlement. The villagers demonstrate little more than a primitive culture, and an American anthropologist studyng the tribe is adamant they should be let alone.
"It isn't right to bring them into your war," Jane Lucas tells Bromhead.
"They'll be involved whether we stay or not. The war has spilled over from South Vietnam into Laos and Cambodia. Find someone else to study."
"I knew it. You're just another pawn of the Pentagon."
Despite the heated debate, the captain carries out his orders. But before training is complete, Bromhead's worst fear is realized. The NVA launches a devastating attack on the village.
