Entry 33, Universal Experience

  When you are at war, there is definitely a chance of feeling scared, most of the soldiers there on the battle field standing shoulder to shoulder by you, are probably feeling the same as you. Being scared is very natural as you are risking your lives on this damp, disgusting battlefield of Vietnam. In the story the soldiers all share the experience of being in the hard conditions of Vietnam and going against the enemy in the humid, swampy, potentially containing traps area. We all can tell that non of the soldiers wanted to be in the hardship and fighting for their country, We can all tell some of them were scared as they fight the war. We can tell from the story that During this time period, Vietnam has a lot of traps that will kill the soldiers as they walk through it. We can also tell the unique weather it has, where every where they go, there could be a swamp and the weather is absolutely humid including some rainy days. This will make the soldiers be left in water at least half the time as they are in Vietnam. Also, another very interesting thing about the Vietnam war that makes it so unique is that it was very hard for the soldiers to find the enemies and the people to kill. The enemies seemed like they were blended into the normal citizens and it was very hard to find the people that needs to be killed. Often times they would slaughter the innocent. The Vietnam war had its very unique features to it, which no other war can be compared to and reflected off of it.
