Do you think his attitude is appropriate or productive?LT McDonough is nearly killed by fellow American Soldiers when trying to conduct a night link-up in Chapter 22. Could this event have been avoided? What could have been done differently that might have reduced the risk?

After the Viet Cong destroy the village in Chapter 23, LT McDonough finishes his memoir with a simple statement: “Leadership must be positive”. What do you think he means?
