Describe the average American G.I. What was his/her experience in vietnam?

1 answer:

7 0

Some GI volunteered to go to Vietnam. But many of the soldiers who went were drafted into the service, ineligible for a student deferment because they had never been to college.

They had to deal with several frustrations particular to the war in Vietnam. Many were brought in piecemeal as replacements within existing units, which made them feel disconnected from the larger group. And with no geographical lines separating friend from foe, the GI in the field couldn't trust anyone. Villagers might be innocent civilians or Viet Cong sympathizers.

The majority of American soldiers never witnessed large-scale battles or suffered through the terror of a jungle ambush during their one-year tours. But when they did, dozens of men could die within minutes. If they are lucky enough to survive the year until his Date Eligible for Return from Overseas, or DEROS, they get to go back home in one piece.

Hope it helps

cheers

Read the passage.

liberstina [14]

Based on the given passage describes Jane crashing into Mrs. Miller's car as she thought to herself, "How could I not have seen Mrs. Miller’s van? Out of all the vehicles in this parking lot, I had to back into my Spanish teacher’s?”, but the tone of Mrs. Miller was quite jovial

This refers to the attitude of an author that is used to tell a story that has a profound effect on the narration which affects the general atmosphere of the scene, also known as the mood of the text.

Hence, it can be seen that when Mrs. Miller realized that her car was dented by Jane, she was jovial about it and acknowledged that she was aware that it was a mistake, and was quite helpful to suggest calling the insurance company to come to fix it up.

Therefore, option A is the right answer.
