Female prisoners suspected of being VC were handed over topro-US militiamen for a spot of fun after they were finishedwith the questioning. More then once, female VC fighters inthe Mekong river delta preferred to fight to the death ratherthen be captured.During the height of the fighting in Vietnam, many local womenbecame infected with various venereal diseases such as "VietnamRose" as a result of the unbridled immoral behaviour of Americansoldiers.As the US forces struggled vainly to keep their client stateafloat, American commanders started to attack Laos and thenCambodia in an attempt to stem the North Vietnamese militarysupplies through the two countries.
