quotable quote

"A guy in my platoon was saying you only have to be in Vietnam for about ten minutes to realize that you should never have gotten on the plane, gone through boot camp, or joined in the first place.
Took me about ten seconds.
Give or take two or three."
— Ellen Emerson White (The Journal of Patrick Seamus Flaherty: United States Marine Corps, Khe Sanh, Vietnam, 1968)
