Quote context

[...]

- The hardest thing I think I've ever done is go on point. Three times this week.

- I don't even know what I'm doing. A gook could be standing three feet in front of me, and I wouldn't know it.

- I'm so tired. We get up at 5:00 a.m., hump all day, camp around 4:00 or 5:00, dig a foxhole, eat.

- Then put out an all-night ambush or a three-man listening post in the jungle.

- It's scary, 'cause nobody tells me how to do anything 'cause I'm new.

- Nobody cares about the new guys. They don't even want to know your name.

- The unwritten rule is a new guy's life isn't worth as much 'cause he hasn't put his time in yet.

- And they say if you're gonna get killed in the Nam, it's better to get it in the first few weeks. The logic being you don't suffer that much.

- If you're lucky, you get to stay in the perimeter at night, and then you pull a three-hour guard shift.
