Today I watch as my fellow platoon member Tim O’Brien was shot in the butt and sent off for medical treatment because our medic Rat Kiley was injured and a newbie to the field was his replacement and almost got Tim killed when he didn’t treat him for going into shock. The Platoon later goes on a three day break at headquarters in Japan. Azar and Tim get back at Bobby Jorgenson the “newbie”. Later Tim and Bobby put their differences aside and become friends. I also see that Rat Kiley gets injured, here’s the story on that one. When the platoon is in the foothills west of Quang Ngai City they receive word that there is possible danger. Each guy acts differently and Rat Kiley keeps to himself, he then after a few days breaks down and tells Sanders that he isn’t cut out to be a medic always picking up parts and putting pieces back in place so he shoots himself bad enough to released from duty and gets sent to a nearby hospital. I also hear Tim telling a story about when he was little and fell in love with this other little girl that he knew and how she always wore a red hat on her head. It turns out that Linda had a brain tumor and was slowly dying. It was later revealed that she died and when Tim went to her funeral he thought it was weird to see her laying in a casket and I learned that Tim became withdrawn and obsessed with sleeping because he could make Linda come back to life when he was sleeping. O’Brien concludes by saying that the dead live.
