"It was borderline gangrene.I Spent a month flat on my stomach: I could;t sit I could,t sleep. I kept seeing Bobby Jorgenson,s Scared-white face. Those buggy eyes and the way his lips twitched and that silly excuse he had for a mustache. After the rot cleared up,once i could think straight,I devoted a lot of time to figuring ways to get back at him getting shot be an experience from which you can draw some small pride" He was on fight on borderline gangrene and he could walk and site, interpretive questions

O' Brien does a great job describing his characters both physical appearances as well as the characters personalities. I couldn't even imagine having to sleep on my stomach every single night! That would be rough.
