Why Do People In Vietnam

Over here you really get to see what people are made of Danny. You get to see how shallow people are, how weak they are. How strong they can be in horrible moments and then how the people you should be looking up to are hiding, and you have to look out for them instead of the other way around. You get to really see what a person is made of. Over there in Vietnam I learned to read people. I know what they're going to do before they do it because I experience the same things over and over. After seeing the same movements before you get shot at or bombed, the same symptoms of the city and the people around you -- it's like a fluid movement. Doors close, people disappear, and all of a sudden you're like, OK guys, hunker down, it's about to hit
So the Bradley rolled back, and we rolled back. And I had to shoot the position-caller before I could shoot the actual shooter. He didn't have a gun, but I knew what he was doing. He was the one calling out what's going on. He was on the phone. So I sent a shot up 20 feet above him and below him and to the side of him. And he just stood there. On his phone, talking the whole time. Innocent people ran. The bad guys stay and fight. If they're not running, they're going to be calling. That's the way I see it. So I shot him and he freaked out and stood still but I was so sorry. I cannot take that type of chance again. I had to start making these moral decisions. Better to be judged by 12 than carried by six. After that happened I thought, well, now I'm damned. I've done the worst thing possible and there's not much more worse you can do than shoot an unarmed person. It's not just that man, now I gotta deal with this and remember this forever. It's like, man, I hope nobody saw that, because I'll go to jail, too. You kind’ve feel so horrible and You kind of die inside. There's really nothing beneath me now. I'm at the bottom of the barrel. So basically you're worried about salvation and people finding out these dirty little secrets.Imagine living in this
