  • Mankind
  • is
  • a
  • predator
  • by
  • nature
  • and
  • a
  • hunter
  • by
  • instinct.
  • I
  • loved
  • to
  • hunt.
  • It
  • was
  • in
  • my
  • blood.
  • And
  • I
  • was
  • now
  • ready
  • to
  • head
  • back
  • to
  • the
  • bush,
  • to
  • hunt
  • the
  • biggest
  • game
  • in
  • the
  • world--man.With
  • five
  • tours
  • of
  • Vietnam
  • and
  • 257
  • combat
  • missions
  • under
  • his
  • belt,
  • Navy
  • SEAL
  • Gary
  • R.
  • Smith
  • has
  • witnessed
  • hell
  • itself.
  • DEATH
  • IN
  • THE
  • DELTA
  • covers
  • his
  • third
  • and
  • fourth
  • tours
  • in
  • Nam.
  • From
  • Cam
  • Ranh
  • Bay
  • to
  • Nam
  • Canh
  • to
  • night
  • insertions
  • into
  • Cambodia,
  • he
  • served
  • as
  • SEAL
  • adviser
  • to
  • volatile
  • Vietnamese
  • special
  • forces,
  • including
  • the
  • fierce
  • PRUs
  • (Provincial
  • Reconnaissance
  • Units),
  • Biet
  • Hai,
  • and
  • Regional
  • Forces.
  • Often
  • accompanying
  • their
  • missions,
  • Smith
  • vividly
  • captures
  • the
  • nightmare
  • of
  • a
  • jungle
  • war,
  • whether
  • staging
  • sudden
  • deadly
  • ambushes
  • or
  • sitting
  • silently
  • for
  • hours
  • soaking
  • in
  • mosquito-infested
  • swamps. It
  • wasn't
  • pretty,
  • but
  • Smith
  • makes
  • no
  • apologies
  • for
  • himself
  • or
  • his
  • fellow
  • warriors
  • in
  • this
  • no-holds-barred
  • account.
  • For
  • him,
  • its
  • a
  • privilege
  • and
  • honor
  • to
  • pass
  • on
  • a
  • small
  • part
  • of
  • the
  • history
  • of
  • the
  • U.S.
  • Navy
  • SEALs
  • experience
  • as
  • he
  • saw
  • it
  • in Vietnam.
