Between being called a "warmonger" by a young coed at college, before joining the service; and being asked, "How many women and kids did you kill?", by a young female flower-child, at the airport, when he landed back in the states, is the very moving story of a young soldier's experiences in Veit Nam. It isn't about dope and irresponsibility; it's about character, friendship, compassion, and duty. It's about a soldier, who, helps set up a school for the Veitnamese children of the village. It's about trying to save a sick baby; and then finding it dead; killed and half eaten by rats because the Veitnamese people who were instructed to keep watch over it did not want to lose any sleep. It's about going into battle with the Civilian Irregular Defense Group, (Veitnamese civilians trained and paid by the U. S.) who deserted even their own wives and children when they had to face a battle. It's about friends like Top, Joe Joe, and Johnson, who were really all that one could depend on. It's about being attacked in the darkness of the latrine by a Viet Cong who was posing as one of the villagers and had free run of the camp. It's about being left for dead by the CIDG, who ran, rather than fight. Bunard is probably the most accurate depiction of the Viet Nam war that has been written. It is wonderfully warm. It should be made into a movie.
