This does not sit well with Jason and he enlists the help of some SEALS in the Delta to blow up the Merchant ships as they are off-loading supplies at a VC camp just across the border in Cambodia.

During this period his girlfriend, a nurse in Saigon, is killed and Jason is devastated. He leaves Vietnam feeling a sense of accomplishment, but disillusioned and imbittered by circumstances he can do nothing about, and a war that cannot be won.
