Ever tried surfing on land? Not that fun.

You just need the right kind of board, although they’re called “Skateboards” when on land. They even have a version of the design for off-road work.

As I recall some of the ‘civilians’ where carrying weapons. For some reason I remember some of the women tricking the troops into thinking they where civies and then pulling out guns or gernades or something and killing them

It was most definately an armed village. I think the point of Kilgore’s scene is that the war is clear-cut and “easy” in the begining. It’s Us vs. Them and you know who to shoot. The village was known to be a hostile target and could be easily targetted and attacked. After that, things go like msmith537 describes.
“Civilian?” They had heavy machine guns set up as AA, a woman grended a dust-off chopper, and there were dozens of AKs being fired. That village was a legitimate target.
A minor nitpick, but Kilgore doesn’t napalm the vilage IIRC, he napalms the treeline outside the village.

I concur. I’d like to add something to this thread, but it’s already been said.
