Vance in Pearl Harbor shortly before Christmas 1965, he found the aging radar-picket destroyer "literally crawling with cockroaches," her bridge and ladders mottled with "coffee spillage," her forecastle the scene of frequent fistfights in which nonrated men "routinely intimidated, threatened and physically struck" their superior petty officers...
...British departure is all but complete. The tax-free shops of Aden's Steamer Point, which once swarmed with cruise-ship tourists, are now boarded up and deserted.

Their definition of patriotism must be worked out in the context of a war that has none of the clear-cut aspects of Pearl Harbor, at a time when the country's internal problems are being examined with unprecedented intensity and emotion, and under a President who, despite all his efforts, has not been able to stir fervor in the hearts of his countrymen...
