Vietnam/Cambodia/Laos Operations,
1968-1975
"A true war story is never moral. It does
not instruct, nor encourage virtue, nor suggest models of human behavior,
nor restrain men from doing the things men have always done. If a story seems
moral, do not believe it. If at the end of a war story you feel uplifted,
or if you feel that some small bit of rectitude has been salvaged from the
larger waste, then you have been made the victim of a very old and terrible
lie. There is no rectitude whatsoever. There is no virtue. As a first rule
of thumb, therefore, you can tell a true war story by its absolute and
uncompromising allegiance to obscenity and evil."
"How to Tell a True War Story", in "The
Things They Carried"
