the things they carried -10

In this part of the book i read from page 60 to 65. In this part of the book he talks about how he left in the morning and Elroy fixed him breakfast. He went outside and Elroy's black pickup was gone. He then went back into the house and waited for him. But he had a certainty that he would not be coming back. He washed the dishes and cleaned everything and then got back in his car and drove south back towards home. He passed through towns with familiar names, through pine forests, down to the prairie, and then to Vietnam where he was a soldier and home again, He had survived but it was not a happy ending. Then in Vietnam he was back at the LZ Gator. He remember Dave Jensen and Lee Strunk were in a fist fight. Dave Jensen had accused Lee of stealing his jackknife. They were in a fist fight for a long time Jensen was much bigger and stronger and had eventually wrapped his arm around Lee's neck and punched him in the nose repeatedly and the men heard a sharp crack noise in his nose. He still kept hitting him. It took 3 men to take Jensen off of him. They took Lee back to the rear by helicopter to get him fixed up. He came back in two days with gauze pads and a metal splint. Jensen thought to himself he Lee wanted revenge it was Vietnam they carried guns and now he was always scared. He had thought if he was in his foxhole what if a grenade just rolled in. He would always make sure if he got split up it wasn't with Lee. He always made his foxhole as far from Lee as possible. He eventually got fed up and went crazy with it and started shooting his weapon in the air and everyone was on the ground laying down. No one had the nerve to go up to him. He then sat down for two or three hours by himself. Then he grabbed the barrel of his pistol and used it as a hammer on his nose until it was broken. He showed Lee and asked if everything was square between them and Lee said yes. In the morning Lee said the man was crazy and he could not stop laughing
