I was always certain my friend Steve was on one of those choppers that I could see off in the distance ..... in fact, as far as I knew, he was on every chopper. He indies ended up in MAG-16, and we spent a lot of time just north of Da Nang. Shit, as far as I knew then, he was on every one of those damn flying machines that I saw, especially the ones at night. And it was indies hard to forget that I had abandoned him when indies I was transferred out of the Marines and he went in alone. And even if it wasn't him in those flying machines, it was people that I would have known, should have known, if only I'd had my chance. So they were all personal friends. It was just that a lot of them I'd never had the chance to meet. One of the worst perspectives of combat support was that, no matter what you're doing, or how important somebody tells you it is, the real battle was always just out of reach.
