...battery of 155-mm. howitzers and another of 105 mm. had been dug in for a month. Three platoons of the 1st Cavalry were on duty defending the twelve big guns and their crews. Under cover of evening rain, elements of North Viet Nam's 22nd Regiment slithered up the hill, snipping the detonating wires of Claymore mines strung round the camp, and neutralizing trip flares. They ran their field-telephone wires to within 15 ft. of the U.S. perimeter...

The descriptions of the sex act are austerely limited by his own preoccupation with the topography of the erogenous zones. Faces and other physical characteristics of the regiment of women were secondary, though he had some interest in dress - the package, as it were. He was not an emotional man.
