You didn't know it was all women shooting at you I bet....

It has been revealed that during the Tet Offensive of 1967, one squad of 24 VC we're all young woman.

During Tet this 24 woman squad took pot shots at guys swimming in bomb craters hitting several. It was revealed that this same squad took part in active snipping and sapper attacks on the 24th ID.

After the war the NVA awarded the survivors of this special squad the Vietnam Medal Of Valor.

Those survivors today, are scattered through the country, many having families after the war. It might not be an uncommon question in the Vietnam of today for their grandchildren to ask..."What did you do in the war Grandma?"

This young ladies name was Vo Thi Mo. Her home was destroyed by US forces when she was 15, thus fueling her hatred of us.

Her first VC assignment was as a spy working in the US 25th ID's headquaters division.

After that she became commander of the all woman VC C-3 company.

Story is from Decembers Edition of Vietnam Magazine, by Kelly Bell.
