Interesting Maybe true. I used to read all the interrogation reports on the infiltrators that they caught. Damn guys could cross country with a small package of Rice flour and a little water. It made for some interesting but sometimes gruesome reading. It seems they all got shot wile "Trying to escape'. I was still taken back at their ability to infiltrate with almost nothing. But that was a long time ago. Of course you never read about the DMZ issues of 66/69.
