wouldn't it be more effective to just plant a big ass bomb there though?

a bomb might not kill everyone, meanwhile with this they all shot eachother to death and the good guys didn't even have to lift a finger.

You do know the mortality rates for lurps was insanely high right?

If you didn't bring a big ass bomb with you you can't exactly use one. Remember these guys were running recon missions and already carrying a shit ton of equipment. Improvisation was the order of the day. In another book Bob Howard is said to have run up alongside a passing NVA troop truck with Claymore and clacker in hand, tossed the mine into the truck bed, and set it off.

SOG isn't even the same thing as LRRPs anyways so OP needs to read some of the books.

Correct - they were ranger attachments. I was in a LRRP unit but that was a decade after Vietnam.

Where would you put them in order to get the NVA to fire on each other?

What unit? I run into a lot of ex-LRRP/LRP's on a weekly basis and talk to them about their experiences sometimes

either side of the camp I assume
So fire comes from both sides NVA caught up in the middle.
