The guy staying with me reached under his bed, grabbed a pineapple grenade, and popped the pin. Then he threw it over the partition into the next room! Hey, I was lying against the wall to the other room. I grabbed my thin mattress and wrapped my body in it. I was expecting the grenade to explode and blow me into the next room! When the grenade landed in the next room, it sounded like something out of a cartoon. The three guys over there started scurrying for cover. I thought they were all going to die!

Well, the guy in my room was standing in our door, laughing his butt off. I thought he was slap insane! He walked into the next room, grabbed the grenade, came back, and threw it at me.

“Hey, it’s a dud!” he said. “They reacted the same way Charlie does when I throw one into their bunker. There’s one big difference, though. The Vietcong doesn’t get to run. When I throw it into their bunker, I mow them down as they scurry out!”

I looked at him and said, “Man, you’re about half a bubble off. You’re not right.”

I’m telling you: Vietnam did something to your mind if you were over there too long. Another guy who stayed in my room had been in Vietnam since the war started. He was on his sixth tour of duty. He was going home for leave and coming back for a seventh tour!

“Hey, man,” I told him. “You’ve done your part for your country. You’ve done your share and five other guys’ shares. You have a wife and two beautiful daughters. Go home and stay there! Good grief.”

“Hey, I’m going home for thirty days to enjoy my family,” he said. “Then I’m coming back here and kill some more Vietcong.”

“Man, you’re not right,” I said.

“If my mind was a computer chip, I guess there might be a few blips on it,” he said.

Hey, I guess I’m lucky my brain was faulty before I even went to Vietnam.
