    A Soldier's Pay

    About this ebook

    Looking at the soldier's life from the Vietnam era and earlier, the author wonders how a soldier accepts himself day-to-day. There is no good answer. Read, and understand why a soldier's real pay is simply to be left alone. Could there be a more powerful antiwar statement than a snapshot of a soldier after a battle?
