I do remember those stories, Salty, and I also remember reports of there being an overwhelming number of adolescents, and pre-adolescents in the make-up of the NVA/VietCong towards the end of the war. This would seem to imply, by association, that the enemy was becoming desperate in their attempts to maintain troop numbers.
I can't say how accurate they were,(the reports), but I certainly remember them.
