Journal,
I m so scared and alone. I just got to Vietnam and I found some friends.
Peewee and Perry. They’re great guys. It seems that I’m so scared all the
time. I have a fear growing in my mind that one-day I’ll be walking along and
a Vietnamese will pop out behind a bush and shoot me in the back of the head. If
I ever did have to shoot someone I don’t know if I could I don’t know if I
could bring myself to shoot another man. I have to go now we’re going out on
our first patrol. Someone said something about watching our step, but everyone
knows that the mines are kept in the mine
fields.
