Philip is a very impulsive person he likes to live in the now and go on adventures. A deatail that proves this is when he joined the army to fight in the Vietnam war for no reason at all.

An enemy battalion attacked in late October which had caused 50 casualties, it destroyed or damaged over 40 aircrafts. Two days after another battalion attacked killing 22 men and wounding over 50 more.
I found it interesting that Philip put a quote before each chapter.

Most days nothing happened in Vietnam, but when something did It happens instantly. The book states that, “we caught a formless war against a formless enemy who evaporated like the morning jungle mists, only to materialize in some unexpected place.”

Troops are fighting, guns are shooting, and mortars are launching in the battlefield while Philip is sitting safeley inside a fox hole.
The genre of the book is a memoir because it tells about Philip Caputo’s time in Vietnam.
