If Trinh allowed himself to think of such thinks, he would admit that he would gladly trade all the days left to him just to be able to spend one evening with his father reading from the book of Apollinaire’s poetry that Trinh had burned so many years ago in the mountains near the Chinese border […] His father’s body was rotting in some undiscovered pit outside Hanoi where the Japanese had dumped it […] The ashes of Apollinaire were scattered across the dark hills that sheltered Vietnam from the Chinese […] Sergeant Major Trinh’s only reality was that on this morning, he was on a wooded ridgeline with twenty soldiers of the People’s Army of Vietnam, a snot-nose sub-lieutenant with a party card and a university degree, the enemy near, and a mission to accomplish.
That was the limit of Sergeant Major Trinh’s allowable reality.
