Rock Apes
Anyone remember 'rock apes' in Vietnam? You be sittin' in yer perimeter dug out at night when rocks come flying into yer position. F.N.G. would come out of their skin thinking they were being attacked when all it was was some monkeys throwing sh!t at you!

I guess I'm the only 'Nam vet who experienced such a thing!
So, moderator, you can close this thread!

Still a recent thread and has many views. Why close it? It will fade or die on it's own if no one else responds.
As far as the rock throwing goes it sounds much like the riots in this country.

Well, OK then!

For those of us, who have only read, it is wonderful to hear from those who have had first hand experience.
These days with any old bullxxxx being printed on the internet, it is refreshing and valuable to get information that comes from a reliable source.
Thanks

I lost my first post, I'll try again. We never saw rock apes in the area of I Corp we operated in but we had plenty of ***k you lizards. Listen closely to this video. No offense to anyone.

When I was an adviser we had a monkey, a dog and a f*** you lizard in our hootch. It would start with the monkey sneaking up on the dog and the lizard would chime in.
"Woof! Woof!" "Chitter chitter chitter!" "F*** You! F*** You! F*** You!"
That would go on all night.

There is an explanation of 'vietnam rock apes' on U-tube. It is mostly concerned with possible 'big foot' sightings which I do not concur with!
I have heard of those lizards, but never saw or heard one.
