Colonel Kurtz's voice, monitored out of Cambodia
"Some of the montagnards had killed a couple of wild boar and were roasting them over an open flame. They were now out of their tiger-striped jungle gear issued by the U.S. Army, and were wearing their more traditional Jarai attire complete with loincloths and large amounts of bodily adornment consisting of brass earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. They began chanting and banging on tin gongs in an attempt to summon certain animistic gods and the spirits of their ancestors, but not before they dulled their bodies and heightened their senses by smoking mild hallucinogenic herbs and drinking an alcohol made from rice. Soon the Jarai were chanting very loud and boisterously, as well as dancing to the beat of the drums with the hopes of eliciting otherworldly assistance in their time of war."
