There were two close friends. They were born in the same
town. They attended the same school. They happened to enlist
in the same base in the army.
While they were serving in the army, they came to be involved
in the Vietnamese War. One day of fighting, one of them was
wounded by an enemys bullet when they were making a dash at
the enemy. Of all the places, it was a hard-fought field on
the battlefield that he collapsed on. He was breathing hard
with pain. The other tried to go out of the trench after looking
at the sight, because he was still alive. A major general
stopped the man at the moment.
Even if he can be survive, he cant take part in a battle.
He will be a burden to us when we make an attack or a withdrawal.
Before everything else, I dont want to see the very sight
of him in you.
The other man, however, did not respond to the instructions
given by his major general. He got out of the trench. He went
through the place where bullets were raining, and finally
arrived the spot where his friend was lying. The man came
back to the trench, carrying the wounded friend on his back.
