responsibility to my friends and to the country in general and to the
Vietnamese. The last guy who I shot, and I don't consider he was the
first guy I shot, but it was the first guy I shot where I was shooting

and I felt a certain amount of responsibility to him, to make his death

anti-war GI coffeehouses ...
located in the towns that hovered near
military bases.
