There are particular people who should be very much on our minds and consciences. We owe special honor and comfort to the families of the Americans who gave their lives in Viet Nam, and we owe a special scorn to any politicians who might seek to exploit their sorrow. We owe far better medical care to the Viet Nam wounded than they are getting in many of our hospitals. We must, of course, bring home our prisoners from North Viet Nam, though it may not help to treat this as a condition for, instead of a consequence of, peace...
...cubs, with 25 more cubs en route. Laments La Panouse: "I have given away a lot of my surplus lions to European zoos. But now these zoos are breeding their own lions. Of course I could sell lion cubs for $500 or $600 apiece to itinerant photographers who exploit and mistreat them, or to publicity seekers as pets, but I'm dead set against that sort of thing."

For him, the war is no more than a hastily-built bureaucratic contraption within which the warrior must eke out a petty and sadistic existence profiteering promotions, medals, and love-making. Wry but bitter, Sloan's hero constantly visits the base's dentist while worrying about continual gonorrhea, and enjoys pissing into the flak around his helicopter gunship. Amid the war's psychic viciousness the hero maintains his uneasy sanity...
