pg61. "Some one through out the grenades as far as they could. We used the smoke to cover the withdrawal." This explains some of the hard ships in war. Where they have to figure things out if they are low on supplies. They were very low on smoke mortars and came up with this idea because they had more gernades than mortars.
Pg82. "It was really good food; everyone had a pork chop in their mess kit. The next day we were forced to move out, and the rest of the meat was salted down, put in to barrels, and given to the tankers." This shows how quick things happen. One minute your relaxing and eating a great meal with your friends. the next you got to move out and fight once more. Many soldier look forward to these rare occations. One day just having fun and not thinking about dying.
pg71. " We didnt know who they really were. We just saw some guys in uniforms with armbands who claimed that they were security forces." Always being scared. Not knowing who to trust. having people saw that they're someone but they are not can be scary. It could be the chinese trying to kill them. No one really knows. Thats the scariest part, because you just dont want to die. No one does.
i agree with the third quote becuse it is true you can never tell who is freind and who is an enemy.
ReplyDeletein the third qoute, it is very difficult to tell whose on your side and whose not in a time like that.
