“Charlie didn’t get much USO. He was dug in too deep or moving too fast. His idea of great R&R was cold rice and a little rat meat. He had only two ways home: death, or victory.”[/quote]
I love Vietnam war books and movies and documentaries and I’m always looking for another one. That quote sounds familiar, so I might have read it. But if not, I’d like to. What’s it from?
Edit: Never mind. I googled it. I’ve seen Apocalypse Now (a few times). Back when it came out, everybody just raved about it. And it was a fantastic movie. But it was touted as being very much like the actual war and, having seen a few documentaries and read several books about that war since Apocalypse Now came out, I’d have to say it didn’t age well. At least the part about it being perceived as realistic.
And, just so I’m not threadjacking, I’ll add that trump seems less tough than most little girls I’ve known.
