Well, I'll tell you what, a rice paddy is the shittiest thing in the world to walk through. I think God put him there to say, don't walk here. So the mud would be like about... Water would be like about maybe a couple of feet deep, and then the mud would be a foot or deep or so. So you'd go down in it, and every kind of vermin you can think of is crawling around in there.

So we're running through this rice paddy. I got my gear halfway on, halfway off. It's my first night in a bush. I don't know. Anyway, that it ought to be. It's choking me. His magazines are choking me. I got them in like a bandolero like you see in the Old West, you know? Stupid. But nobody was there to show me. Yeah. Right? So we get there. This guy is hurt horrifically. Not dead. Arm gone.

Side of his head gone. They're trying to check an eye that's not there with a hand that's not there. I mean, it's crazy shit, you know, that you see in war. And the squad leader is this guy named Blackwell. And he starts just standing in this rice paddy. And he's thrown up, and then he's just standing there.

And it's this helicopter that's coming in, this Huey's coming in, and it's going to land right on him. So I see it. I run and grab him and push, push, push, push, push, and misses him and misses me. But we hit a rice paddy tank and go, and he snaps him out of it. And then I saved his ass, and then saved my own ass. But...

So then we took and they told us to go back out to a different ambush place. And after this guy Hunt gets taken back, you know, medevaced back. And by the way, it didn't kill him. He didn't die. I've seen him at a reunion. Yeah.

Yeah. And so I take in the—we set in with the sister squad, which we weren't supposed to do at all, but we thought we'd get some sleep. So the next morning, the sun breaks. Nobody's answering the radio. It's where we are. And the hell we're at. What the fuck? We're firing a .50-caliber machine gun over our head. Then we motorbike, and they threw their ass out. That was my first night in the bush.
