He returns from Southeast Asia minus a right leg, a left foot and an eye. Tommy Hayes, the son and grandson of West Point major generals, rejects the sanctuary of graduate school. In a letter home he writes, "My country has invested a great deal in me as a soldier. I should like to repay that investment." The price is his life, taken in the jungle north of Saigon...
