Even so, at least once a day he motored, flew or helicoptered to inspect some military field position. He wanted to see for himself that every aspect of the war was being handled properly.

Swishing Tail. Many of the enemy dead wore tiger-striped uniforms and had gone into battle barefoot, their shoes tied around their necks.
