How does Special Forces build their fortified camps?

Just read this...classic

Quote:
Someone once asked an SF sergeant, "How does [S]pecial [F]orces build their fortified camps in South Vietnam?” The sergeant replied, "Well, first you select a good spot for a bar. Next, you build the bar and stock it with the best booze and beer that your team can afford. Then you build the rest of the camp to best defend your bar.”

Classic indeed. I believe I first read that on Don Valentine's site
Tactical considerations? The bar would have a good view.

Yeah, came across it completely by random, but it's actually a bloody entertaining read.

Everybody knows that before the USAF builds anything, the very first thing to go up is the O-Club.
