Here Come The Elephants

If I remember correctly, we were somewhere around Ban-Me-Thuot when  elephants came walking into our "field of fire" The Infantry, I assume , stopped them, and checked them out. When they were allowed to go , someone came up with the idea to pop a couple of pro-joes over their heads. When the rounds were fired, instead of running away,  the elephants turned and ran straight at us. They didn't get too close before the men that were riding them got them under control.  Someone else has got to remember those elephants.
