Having flunked out of college in the fall of 1965, the author
enlisted in the U.S. Army. He was soon assigned to Officer
Candidate School at Fort Benning, Georgia, a place designed to
manufacture the commodity a wartime army most quickly expends-rifle
platoon leaders. In 1968, he found himself in Vietnam, part of the
First Cavalry Division. From his memories and the battalion's radio
log, the tedium, dread, fear and bewilderment of the everyday
grunts are revealed. He found combat neither glorious nor great,
reminding us of the humanity of the men who fought in Vietnam. The
author's experiences at Kent State University in 1970 during the
infamous shootings on that campus are also included.
