A quote from "Platoon", but used in general [conversation] in "the Nam". It's based on a racest term "zipper-head", a name the US soldiers gave the Northern [Vietnamese] and militia (Vietcong) combatants to de-humanize their targets. It was quicker to refer to them as Zips, Cong, or V.C., and also served to make them "less human" in the eyes of the invading forces. Today, most people have forgotten about [particulars] of the Vietnam war, and often use the phrase as meaning there are enemies close at hand, or you are surrounded by very serious problems.
