The Military Police routinely faced danger and ethical challenges in Vietnam. Principle among the dangers were encounters with AWOL GIs, black market criminals, and servicemen involved in drugs and prostitution activities. When possible, the Viet Cong targeted the Vietnamese National Police and their American MP partners. In some circumstances, MPs encountered tempting situations that challenged their moral standards. Ben Long was confronted by these dangers and challenges throughout his tour, and paid a heavy price for his choices.
