It's a foul. Calculated place. He was okay. A good Marine. The way I looked at it, he'd been hopping too many islands. Battle fatigue can get the best of them.
Anyway, here I was somewhere I don't can hoe with him. In the middle of the night, and I just asleep beginning where else. Okay, DuBore. The footprints is deep enough. I guess we'd say for a while.
Where are we anyhow? A couple of miles behind the jet line. So how safe is that? You worry too much, pal. Even for a guy on his first patrol. I was thinking of it as my last.
