Jack Smith

  • Booby traps.
  • Bombardment
  • Artillery
  • Napalm
  • Bullets whizzing everywhere
  • Having to see so many dead bodies.
  • Rough terrain
  • High grasses
  • Ambush
  • Friendly fire
  • Death of friends

At first he was a boy looking for a little adventure in his life, but when he got there he was changed forever. Seeing the body bags, the man covered in dirt, the bodies all over, made him sick of war. Afterwards he hated anybody who had anything to do with that battle. He became cynical and started to have hate for mankind. Years later he realized how good life really is, and that people made mistakes like in other wars, and concluded that it's magnificent what a human can endure. His last thoughts on the war were that the war was pointless, and that because we lost the deaths weren't justified.
