With a mission to eliminate the enemy  he also thinks about the survival of his men. He believes his cause is just to fight for the freedom of his Vietnamese allies. Yet  he and his comrades are seduced by the savage mentality of combat. It is a daily life-or-death proposition  one that seeps into the darkest corners of a Marines soul and penetrates the very core of his being  saturating the mind  body  and spirit of man. Donald F.
