  My Tho, Vietnam Surgical Trip
This is the third day here in My Tho; the first was a clinic day evaluating 130 cases and selecting about 50 patients for surgery (the others were turned away because they were either not well enough or their problem was not operable.) Yesterday and today were surgery days with 15 procedures performed.

 David Hunt, 'Villagers at War: The National Liberation Front In My Tho Province', 1965- 1967'
My analysis rests on material drawn from the RAND Corporation's "Viet Cong Motivation and Morale'" project, conducted in Vietnam from 1964 to 1969.
It is therefore well-suited to serve as the basis for a local study of the NLF, My discussion of events in My Tho depends almost entirely on evidence drawn from this series of interviews.
Front did not, in its own terms, fully control any areas in My Tho (since the GVN was shelling villages from one end of the Province to the other), it is remarkable how isolated the Saigon authorities continued to be.
