How do you prepare for certain death?

Nothing was grotesque than the battlefields of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia.

A reference to destruction and death did not exist.

There was no reality to grab as a guide, yet we occupied a space in the events.

Nothing was ever what we planned, expected, or found. All our compasses pointed to coordinates in another dimension that we could not see or define.

If we called in artillery, we also became the objective. The only reliable target of the jet fighters was the ground. Agent Orange dropped indiscriminately. The blood supply proved contaminated, and arriving recruits could hardly read or write.

It was as if the Army was out to kill us as much as the enemy.

The proof of the absurdity became the deaths of more than 58,000 of us that could have and should have never occurred.
