Quote #10
"The little Viet colonel gave Stewart a direct order to take some damn hill. Stewart said he wasn't going up first and the colonel called Division.
"Now what going to happen?" Johnson asked.
"Now we going up the damn hill first," Peewee said. (18.36-38)
Here's a rare case. Stewart is actually trying to protect the lives of his soldiers by not letting them be the first exposed to an unseen enemy. Too bad it doesn't work out.
