...expostulated: "Dammit, if we could just get these people to wash their kids off with soap and water, half of the cases we're treating here today wouldn't be sick." A marine corporal near by listened and nodded. Next day five marines, four washtubs and a bag of towels pulled into Phu Bai in a Jeep, and an assembly line was soon set up.
