Show OHI E&G Aguayo 3-4-85 sl:8 L Yeah I understand. But how did you react to fighting and people dying. GA I think - I think actually the first time, I think because of the way it happened, you don't really react much. The first time, I was in a fire fight, Ididn't really see who I was shooting at. I mean, we were shooting at groups running back and forth And you don't really get a chance to go over and look at them.You don't see that. I don't know how it would be if right off the bat, you went - maybe one on the one. You know. Ithink thatwould kind of make you feel bad because some of them ah - it'd make them a little sick. But when it happens in a big fire fight, ah, it's mostly - when you're shooting at bunches. You're single and everybody's shooting. You don't really see - you really can't claim that you got that one, or something like, you know, you really don't' see that. L You don't know who you're hitting. GA You don't know who you're hitting. And you're too busy. You don't really see it. If it had happened the first time, like I say, one on one, it might have been different. But. - Then, by that time, I think ou get used to it. It's ah it isn't something-- I think you just sort of feel a twinge, is about all. You know. I think - I remember the first time, it really hurt - not hurt but a little - I hated to do something - but actually I thought it was maybe for thebest. We went up on against ?ne time, a Japanese outside a cave, and he was in real bad shape. He |
