Bunny & Junior Bunny: You know Junior, some of the things we've done, man.I don't feel like we've done something wrong. Sometimes, man, I get this bad feeling. I told the padre the truth man, I like it here. Get to do what you want, nobody fucks with you. The only worry you got is dying. And if that happens you won't know about it anyway. So what the fuck man? Junior: Shit! I gotta be in this hole with you man? I just know I shouldn't come. | |||||||||||

3 | Chris Taylor | Quotes | Quotes | ||||||||
Chris Taylor Chris Taylor: I think now, looking back, we did not fight the enemy, we fought ourselves. The enemy was in us. The war is over for me now, but it will always be there, the rest of my days. As I'm sure Elias will be, fighting with Barnes for what Rhah called 'possesion of my soul'. There are times since, I've felt like a child, born of those two fathers. But be that as it may, those of us who did make it have an obligation to build again. To teach to others what we know, and to try with what's left of our lives to find a goodness and a meaning to this life. | |||||||||||

5 | Chris Taylor | Quotes | Quotes | ||||||||
Chris Taylor Chris Taylor: Day by day I struggle to maintain not only my strength but also my sanity. It's all a blur. I have no energy to write. I don't know what's right or wrong anymore. The morale of the men is low, a civil war in the platoon. Half the men with Elias, half with Barnes. There's a lot of suspicion and hate. I can't believe we're fighting each other, when we should be fighting them. | |||||||||||
6 | Chris Taylor | Quotes | Quotes | ||||||||
Chris Taylor Chris Taylor: Well, here I am, anonymous, all right. With guys nobody really cares about. They come from the end of the line, most of them, small towns you never heard of: Pulaski, Tennessee. Brandon, Mississippi. Pork Bend, Utah. Wampum, Pennsylvania. Two years' high school's about it. Maybe if they're lucky, a job waiting for them back in a factory. But most of 'em got nothing. | |||||||||||
7 | Chris Taylor | Quotes | Quotes | ||||||||
Chris Taylor Chris Taylor: The village, which had stood for maybe a thousand years, didn't know we were coming that day. If they had, they would've run. Barnes was the eye of our rage. And through him, our captain Ahab, we would set things right again. That day we loved him. | |||||||||||
8 | Chris Taylor | Quotes | Quotes | ||||||||
Chris Taylor Chris Taylor: New Year's Day, 1968. Just another day. Staying alive. There's been a lot of movement near the Cambodian border. Regiments of NVA moving across.
