Tim O'brien shot twice

We were in the middle of the jungle fighting these gooks. And all I remember is Tim falling to the ground and screaming and screaming. He had been shot right in the butt. Jorgenson froze and wouldn't move to help Tim. By the tim Jorgenson got to Tim he was going into shock and probably would've died but thankfully he made it in time. Tim got shot again in the side if I remember right and got sent back to the base. He wouldn't get over the fact that Jorgenson almost let him die. When we arrived back to base Tim greeted us at the helipad and brought us back to the actual base. He was still mad about Jorgenson and wanted to get him back for what he did. He asked Mitchell Sanders to help him get Jorgenson back but he refused. So he went to Azar, which being the jackass Azar is he accepted. There plan miserably failed, and then Tim decided to take Jorgensons apology. They became sort of friends. That is all for today.

Kiowa

Last night it was raining, and we were trying to find a place to sleep. We found this field that looked good. But later that night we found out that it was a shit pond. Norman was woken up last night by screaming and he found out that Kiowa was drowning in the shit! He tried to save him but he couldn't the smell was so bad he had to let go and run out've the pond before he sunk in himself. He always beat himself up for not saving him. When he got home from the war Tim wrote a story about him but didnt use any of Norman's references so a couple days later they found him dead at a YMCA in Iowa. After that Tim wrote a story actually about Norman and used his references and places.

Tim O'Briens Stories

Tim O’ Brien always told stories. No one ever knew if they were true or all just lies. But we always just sat and listened to him tell other people the different stories he told. His recent listener was Mitchell Sanders, he told them about how Curt Lemon died. Curt and Rat were playing catch with smoke grenades and he ran five feet away to catch the grenade and stepped on a booby-trap. It exploded and his body and everything just flew all over a tree. As Tim and Dan Jensen peeled everything off the tree Dan was singing the song “Lemon Tree” We couldn’t help but laugh. Rat Kiley was beat up over it. He wasn’t the same anymore. After that we went to an abandoned village to sleep and set up camp. There was a water buffalo there, Rat went over to it and shot it just to torture it. He didn’t even kill it so we threw it into the well and let it be.

Lavender's Death

Lavender died today. He was shot in the head on his way back to us from taking a pee in the woods. And just like that his life was ended. As the helicopter came we smoked his mary-jane. We joked about how much he used his tranquilizer and that when he did get shot he couldn't of even felt any pain, thats how much he abused it. Some of the platoon thought they need luck not to die in this war. Lieutenant Cross had a good luck pebble, Dave Jensen had a rabbits foot and Norman Bowker carried a thumb that Sanders gave him from a boy that he cut it off of. After he cut it off the boy he kicked him in the head and began on his way. I had no idea how that was lucky but some people are just weird. That is all I have to tell you for now more will be coming later on.
