"The Dusty Agony of Khe Sanh", Newsweek, March 18, 1968

The article describes the harsh life of U.S. Marines trapped in the Khe Sanh base during constant attacks by North Vietnamese forces. The soldiers lived in dangerous, dusty, and uncomfortable conditions, facing daily artillery fire, food shortages, rats, and cold nights, while relying on bunkers and trenches for safety. Despite the misery, the Marines stayed confident in their strength and air power.
