This book is split into many different stories from many different men all around Vietnam. One story and characters that really caught my attention was a man by the name of Lieutenant Howard. This story stuck out to me because of the leadership that this character demonstrated. Howard was a religious man and also a strong leader. He was in charge of a group at Landing Zone X ray. Howard was never scared of anyone and even explains in one story that he was hidden in a foxhole with some other men and he heard the Vietnamese walk right past them. He could even hear their weapons clinking together. I think that showed what a smart and brave person he was to be able to find a good hiding spot and then also keep quiet enough to escape the smart Vietnamese enemy. Another character that I really thought was important was Captain Matt Dillon. He was one of the leaders under the Bravo Company alongside General Herren. Dillion gets mentioned in a Dawn Attack where the US soldiers were completely caught off guard and didn't know what to do. Dillion seemed very relaxed though this whole process and continued to follow orders even at the worst times. Also
