This may have been mentioned, but I seem to recall some footage- a
sanctioned news documentary about U.S. advisors, not in Vietnam, but Laos-
during the Kennedy years, in which one of the American serviceman
demonstrated the field technique for fishing: chucking a grenade into a
trailside pool and then harvesting three or four of the hundreds of dead
fish which came bubbling to the surface. Apt.
It may have been Viet Nam during the Johnson years but I think I recall it
being Laos/Kennedy- must consult Mr. Thoth, or maybe the local museum of
broadcasting.
