WHILE men of the 9th Infantry and 3rd Marine divisions were celebrating the decision to withdraw their units last week, Specialist 4/C Arthur Jaramillo went about his tasks as sergeant of a 25th Division weapons platoon. Jaramillo's unit is remaining in Viet Nam, and his war still has two months to go. "You can have this war and stick it," he told TIME Correspondent John Wilhelm. "Why don't they pull us all out? Either that or decide to win this thing?" Still, despite his frustration, he realizes that matters are not quite that simple...

My figures feel right because they're all tied down. They may look frightening at first-after I had done a few, I ran out of my studio. Then I began to see how defenseless...
Other forms of self-commemoration do not appeal to Nelms. "I don't believe in education," he explained when college presidents tried to convince him that schools were nobler than booze. "I only went through the fourth grade myself-and I consider that the last year was wasted."
