John Nutting is 19 years old in 1966. Elevated in small-town Idaho, to a family that could track its military origins back to the brand new War, Nutting has learned he'll fight the conflict as a Sea. On your day of his senior high school graduation, he swears in to the US Sea Corps and boards the plane on top of that camp. All too early he's in the jungle, a greenhorn person in "F" Company, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Sea Division. Firing on an unseen adversary, burying friends killed by booby traps, and struggling with the notion that lots of people back were totally opposed to the conflict, Nutting begins to wonder what are his probability of coming home? During a rescue mission eliminated wrong, a mortar around explodes beside his team, digging shrapnel deep into his leg. Aboard the operative hospital ship, where he's sent to restore, he sees the indescribable traumas of Marines who had been captured and tortured by the North Vietnamese Military, and makes your choice to join another Sea Regimental Scout/Snipers at Camp Carroll. Following the locals betray the scout/snipers given to help their community, resulting in the death of two of Nutting's buddies, Nutting discovers an escape to sanity in cannabis. This begins his constant recourse to the drug that lasts throughout his travel, done only in the bunker or when away on R&R never in the field and never working. Despite his proven record, when he's caught in ownership of cannabis, his arrest and the ensuing judge martial transformed his life and his reputation forever.
