Flashbacks paint his past in quick, terse strokes. When he watches the jungle rush beneath his helicopter, be thinks back to a train ride he took with his mother and sister, the countryside slipping by the window; when he stabs a Viet Cong guerrilla (who turns out to be a woman), he remembers being called a sissy in the school playground; when he buries...
