Question

Road this excerpt from "Not a Dove, But No Longer a Hawk."

I remember distinctly the thrill of climbing aboard a U.S. Army helicopter in the cool of the morning and taking off
across the rice fields with a South Vietnamese battalion for a day's jousting with the Vietcong guerillas. There was
hope then that the non-Communist Vietnamese might win their war. I was proud of the young American pilots sitting
at the controls in the cockpit and I was grateful for the opportunity to witness this adventure and to report it. We are
fighting now, I used to think, and some day we will triumph and this will be a better country.
