About
Graphic Novel:War Buddies, Part 2
On November 8, 1968, five soldiers with codenames embark on a top secret mission to recover a downed A4 Skyhawk. Their mission takes them 40 miles into enemy territory, along the Mekong River. On November 15, their position becomes compromised, and they are ambushed by enemy fire. Amarillo, Loredo, and San Antonio are killed, and Dallas is badly injured (but quickly healed). Austin appears to receive no injuries.
Graphic Novel:War Buddies, Part 3
On November 20, 1968, Dallas and Austin continue the mission to find the downed crew. After finding a Viet Cong informant, Dallas interrogates the man, ordering Austin to heal him several times. Finally, they find the crash site where the crew has been killed. Dallas, realizing that they are close to the Skyhawk's target, wishes to proceed with the destruction of the village.
Graphic Novel:War Buddies, Part 4
Austin and Dallas destroy Au Co, Vietnam, killing many villagers. After a woman cries to a girl named Au Co, Dallas realizes the mission was not regarding the village, but the girl.
Notes
- The Mekong River area of Vietnam was a popular battle site during the Vietnam War.
- Dallas mentions that "politicians were in Paris trying to broker peace". In reality, the Paris Peace Accords began in May 1968, but were not finally signed until 1973.
