Vietnam Readings

Jack Smith

  • He didnt have any expirience
  • He saw bombs being dropped over Vietnam
  • He had to make camp
  • He witnessed the effects of the bombing on children
  • He saw a load of body bags meant for him, following him into the war
  • He witnessed the effects of war on soldiers
  • He felt the loss of a friend
  • He had to dig a foxhole to sleep in, that was only as big as a foot
  • He was taking a walk through the woods and was ambushed
  • He had to pretend to be dead so as not to be killed during another ambush
  • Bullet shells burnt his skin
  • A bomb landed on top of the man on top of him, it blew him up and wounded jack
  • One of his vains was severed by a mortar
  • Bomb were dropped right next to him
  • Dead bodies were all around him, piled up
  • At first Smith hates the war and held gruges, but then he relized that he cant change that and the loss of a friend is way more important than war itself

I feel like I'm fixing to die rag

  • Its asking them to come and fight in Vietnam
  • To prove themselves as good Generals
  • Its to publisize the war
  • Send their children off to war
