We know who the NVA informant was but I just don’t get why Tran (the Kit Carson scout) was leaving the patrol map in the supplies box, and by extent, felt the need to seem that he was not aware of what was going on with the NVA knowing patrol routes (for example, by not telling Goldman, and leading Anderson and the patrol straight it an ambush rather than taking the swamp route).
I realise that being a Kit Carson scout, he would be killed by both the VC and NVA. I don’t think that he was a traitor to his new American allies. The episode seems to infer that he was being threatened by the NVA to provide the information and not reveal it to his US allies or he would be killed. Or was it a matter of religious influence?
Does anyone have any different or actual idea about why he did what he did?
Thanks in advance!
