The whole Cambodian disaster, Pol Pot and all, could have been avoided if its neutralist leader Prince Sihanouk had been allowed remain in power into the 1970s. The Khmer Rouge would have remained a small isolated force with just a few thousand supporters
I have kept this incident buried in my gut for 36 years until now. I was a 0369 SSgt working for the 3rd MarDiv Inspector (senior 06) on Okinawa. I read the incident report and all KIA SRB's. It was Operation Frequent Wind. All USMC choppers were on Eagle Pull (Vietnam). These were Air Force birds coming in online. No gunships! This was a M-60 team covering a hot extraction LZ. I am happy to hear they used E&E before going out in a firefight. Marines, get a head count before you out chop!
i was born well after this firefight and just watching and hearing about 3 marines left behind pisses me off. I can't imagine what they were going through when all their comrades left and it was just them and a couple hundred cambodians hell bent on killing them.They fought bravely and deserved to come back alive.
vietnam war (AND cambodia, slightly different story)) was a zionist attack on a growing, successful, peaceful and catholic society (French influence), which was on the way to become the greatest economy of the region. zionists from Paris (Communist party) and new York organised it from both sides. Ask any KGb/zionist warlord like Zigniew Brzezinski (or maybe Kissinger?) how they did it.
the uss coral sea was nearby. why didn't the marines get close air support. I was stationed at u-tapao air base. we normally had b-52's & kc 135 tankers. the day before we got fighter aircraft from other thailand bases. once again, why no air support for the marines?
@goober208 They had air support from the AF out of Thailand. The Coral Sea air wing didn't have the proper gear to communicate with the Marines. The real question is why Ford was in such a hurry to send these guys in that he couldn't wait until the Okinawa and the Hancock could get on station with enough Marine choppers to move in a whole battalion plus USMC air support.
@saulpaulus Good point, however all the eyes and gear was on Operation Eagle Pull (Vietnam), another cluster fuck! I think 1/4 was in on this mission, Operation Frequent Wind. I read the incident report while at Camp Cortney on Okinawa. As a 0369 with 10 years under my belt, this fuck up made me sick. After I made Gunny that year; I picked up a K 3/4 Weapons Platoon. I would always "spaz out" when the head count was wrong. My troops called me "Gunny Spaz-Doe". LMAO. I loved MY Marines.
@0369DevilDog Apparently Hargrove's, Hall's, & Marshall's platoon CO was injured & evaced earlier. The officer who took over was told they had been evac'd & didnt find out different until everyone was in the air. He & his men offered to go back in to get them but were turned down by the admiral in charge of the operation. SEAL team CO on scene thought a rescue was too dangerous.
@0369DevilDog Ford & other higher ups messed w/ op & didnt give COL Austin full info. On getting info that boatload of caucasians (who later proved to be hostages) was moving away from Koh Tang toward mainland, Ford decided hostages were dead or wouldnt be found. Never told Austin. Did hold assault team on ground 10 key minutes until he had begun briefing Congressional delegation per War Powers Act. Later said he had no "recollection" of being told Hargrove, Hall, and Marshall left behind. UGH!
@saulpaulus WTF!? The ink on the incident report I read was not even dry on Oki before it went to Washington. You know what? In 1983, I went to Grenada with an op eval team. It seems "they" did not learn crap from Operation Frequent Wind. Later, they ordered me to Labanon on independent pcs orders. I said Faaahhhhaaa You; and I reired. Thanks for helping me wrap my head around this. I felt so helpless as I read the reports and their SRB's. Thanks for the heads up.
@0369DevilDog It gets worse. Kissinger ALMOST convinced Ford to have B-52s carpet bomb Kompong Som area which would just have killed thousands of innocents. He & Ford actually wanted boat w/ hostages destroyed & he got pissed at AF pilot for filing sit reports rather than obeying orders when he checked fire & advised WH. Honestly believe he wanted hostages dead so that Cambodians couldnt embarrass US by blackmail.
@saulpaulus Damn! In 1969, I fought in Nam and there was so much bs going on there. One, the Troops did not lose that fucking war. It was the political air heads in Washington. Everytime I see Kissenger on tv I get pissed. He got face down in bed with the NVA. Later, he tricked "Tricky Dick into leaving Nam". I am glad the AF pilots checked fire on that bs. But we did step up bombing in Cambodia under Nixon before the Mayaguez.
@0369DevilDog At least the earlier bombing seemed to have a military purpose. This wouldve just slaughtered innocent people for no reason. Thank God Schlesinger & Jones talked Ford out of it. One of the worst things as I see it is that the Corps assumes Hargrove, Hall, & Marshall were KIA BEFORE the assault force left. This in spite of testimony from fellow Marines & the KR who ordered them killed. As a result, Purple Hearts are all they'll ever get & their families had to wait for those.
as a former marine,this story rips my heart out. to die in combat is one thing. i guess its what we signed up for. but to defend the outer flank of your unit. to keep the enemy at bay in an evac. then at the last moment to have your people to forget your out there. the terror they felt when they realized they were alone. I'm not a weak man but i weep for these my brothers in arms. these wonderful brave fighting men. may the memory of their sacrifice live on. rest now hard chargers. sempi fi
@wmoore8 I feel your pain Marine. We "NEVER LEAVE A FELLOW MARINE BEHIND!" I was in Oki and read the incident reports on this. In 1969, I loaned one of my Marine squad leaders out to another platoon and he never came back. he was WIA. So I thought he had survived. In 2009, I learn he died of his wounds. Today I am in therapy because of that. So I weep with you Marine, but we will stay strong as the Original Band of Brothers! Semper Fi
It was not the last battle of Vietnam, it was the last battle of Southeast Asia. It had nothing to do with Vietnam, that is why no one from 1/3, 2/9, or the airmen flying the JollyGreens recieved the Vietnam Srevice medal.
@wpreddog54 It kind of did actually. The Mayaguez had been used to supply US forces in SE Asia and the Coral Sea had been in the area helping in the evacuation. So sorta kinda related.
Blame Kissinger and Ford for that one. Kissinger's on record beforehand looking for some fight to show the US was not weak. 14 hours before the mission started, the Chinese relayed a message that they expected the crew of Mayaguez 'to be released soon', and they were. An hour before the 'rescue mission' they were put on a boat - and even after the crew were recovered, Ford ordered US planes to bomb the Cambodian mainland.
Read the excellent book The Last Battle by Ralph Wetterman. After exhaustive research, he wrote that two of the three marooned Marines were captured, then a week later taken to a temple and beaten to death with the barrel of a B-40 rocket launcher. This method of execution was favored by Pol Pot, so as not to "waste" ammunition. The third Marine was reportedly executed on the spot for resisting.
@jarhead242able Did you happen to go to the Koh Tang re-union in Branson this last May? I was a corpsman with H&S flew in during the evacuation that afternoon.
@jarhead242able Wow, thanks for clearing my head Marine. It was 9th Marines ("The Walking Dead"). I apologize to all. I thought it was a 4th Marines unit. My bust! I have served with L 3/2, H&S 2/8. K 3/4 and M 3/7 (Vietnam). But 9th Marines are some bad moherfuckers! Yeah, a lot of "newbies" were on that mission. Welcome Home Marine. Semper Fi
This whole thread, much less the incident, is a snapshot of Viet Nam: a whole lot of "me" bull shit about everything but what happened. Three young men who, if they had not believed in the depths of their souls that this country, much less the Marine Corps, would never abandon them--were abandonded. It is who this country and the Marine Corps were back then.
Fortunately, the Marine Corps has found its feet again. Wonder if the country ever will.

What? Are you gay? You will never get my goat. But we will see how you like being fucked over. The game now gets serious. I have nothing better to do, but take a prick like you, with me. I will keep you up to date, on finding you. See you later.
You know, after reading all of your comments (and they are many) you and I have a lot in common. We are comrades in arms. Who have experienced the same things. G Modley, give me your phone number, or mailing address. You and I need to get together and compare notes.
your insults are not only hackneyed they are as out of shape as your zero pack abs. once you can do six situps w/out getting a hernia and get back to me.
P.S. Airhead -- I may have volunteered but that doesn't mean I have to agree with my Country's foreign policy. I have to piss in a bag for the rest of my life. It would be nice if I could say the wounds were worth it. But I can't. And I won't.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh. Must piss in a bag. Do you still have pee pee? A dare? Have you considered a hose? At least I was drafted. But I manned up. I am a hacker. I went through it and I don't blame anyone. You sissy. I don't care if you have to crap out the other side of your mouth. Grow up dick head.
You were drafter, and you manned up? That isn't manning up you old fuck. That's hiding until you are forced at gunpoint to fight for your country. I ENLISTED because of 9/11. Don't try to gain the high moral ground. Your ladder will never be able to reach it.
What a jerk. Can you read. I enlisted durning the worst part of war. High moral ground. You know nothing about it. There is no moral high ground in war. Still have to have the last word with a disire for the rest of us feeling sorry for you.
Got to go. I plan to live every moment of my life with all the zest I can muster. Get back with you later. Be sure to leave a message worth reading! Think up some new sayings, please.
LOL!!!!!! What a pathetic attempt to appear profound. Oh, I love it. Thanks for making my day. Btw, do you jerk off to those gook music videos you favorited. If you ever really did serve in Nam, I bet you loved the war so much cuz of all the village girls you raped. What a fuckin jagoff you are. So transparent.
Man, I would love to play with you some more, but I would be arguing with a geek. There is no end to your mental illness. It's all about you. You poor fuck. You don't have anything better to do. I am a pubished writer. I am a good person. What a cruel person you are. Yes I have feelings about Vietnam. You know nothing about being a human being. Happy, Gimp?
One more time for the record. The missing three marines were reported by secure voice "Navy Red" to be AWOL and never got on the transports. I was within two miles of Koh Tang. Monitoring unsecured radio transmissions between land forces. This documentery is flawed because it depents on second hand reports. The mission was inland Cambodia. Which I watched from the air command center in CIC USS Gridley. I watched covert air bombing missions also. The Gridley was PIRAZ. The Mayaguez was a decoy.
Did you understand my previous testimony about a cover up operation by Pres Ford/CIA/who knows. I am under hospice care and maybe the last eye witness to what really happend. And along comes a jerk like you trying to piss down my back. Who do you really work for? Or are you really the dumb ass you appear to be.
PS. The USS Gridley was a key unit in the rescue. A week earlier we were waiting to deal with the atempted sizures of American ships, while we were south of Thailand. We were sent to Austraila. The Gridley is never mentioned in the records and a false history for the Gridley is floating around. OS2 Ramey. Surface Supervisor in CIC of the USS Grildley DLG 21
The three were expendable. At the time, the report via Navy Red, they were AWOL. Didn't get on the transports. Plus we had the means to stop this before it happened. I know---OS2 Ramey. Surface Supervisor in CIC, USS Gridley DLG 21.
These guys were probably captured and killed after torture. It is known that 4 American yachtsmen were picked up off the Cambodian coast not long afterwards and executed in 'the killing fields' outside Phnom Penh
Whatever became of the efforts to locate the remains of LCpl. Hargrove? The most up to date information I have found is that a team was sent in early 2008, but there is no info. as to whether his remains were found and returned or not.
@saulpaulus These evil scumbags will always be remembered by REAL patriots like me for what they were: the Redcoats of the 20th Century. May all the supporters of Vietnam rot in hell forever.
If I was the officer requesting to go back I would have asked the pilots to take everyone there and get the marines back

Whatever became of the efforts to locate the remains of LCpl. Hargrove? The most up to date information I have found is that a team was sent in early 2008, but there is no info. as to whether his remains were found and returned or not.

@saulpaulus These evil scumbags will always be remembered by REAL patriots like me for what they were: the Redcoats of the 20th Century. May all the supporters of Vietnam rot in hell forever.
