Subject: Binh Thuy AB Vets

I was talking to a Vietnames man today and I asked him what the name, "Ben Xa Moi" meant. He said it means "station of new village". For those who don't know about Ben Xa Moi, it was the closest bar district to Binh Thuy AB; about seven miles away. It was a maze of streets adjacent to Can Tho city, comprised of bars, brothels and steam baths. Army MPs patrolled it's main street, but I never saw them go into the back alleys where the bars were located. Gangs of "cowboys"(teen & preteen) pickpockets accosted you on the way in and the way out. The alleys leading to the bars were quagmires during the monsoon season and if a drunk GI slipped and fell, he stunk like a fetid swamp. In the entire year I was at Binh Thuy, I went to the bars there MAYBE three or four times. My only reason for going that often was that I got bored and I forgot how nasty it was there. LOL!
