Jack Smith


What challenges does Jack Smith face as a soldier in Vietnam? (a bulleted list is fine)

  • Fear
  • Knowing what to do in combat
  • Scared of dieing
  • Seeing the dead and wounded
  • Being shot at
  • Seeing your friends get killed
  • Being "green" and having your commanders "green"
  • Freezing up because you are scared as an attacking force strikes
  • Being wounded
  • Enduring pain and suffering


    How does Smith’s attitude toward war change?
  • He starts out being excited about it, then he doesn't like it because his friends are being killed and he's being shot at.
