A little outlandish and reflects the gun culture of the US.
The man was either charmed or lucky to have friends like he acquired. I wish my time In the infantry had been as rewarding as his life was. You have to be in the right place at the right time WITH very good, loyal dependable, gifted friends.
Interesting main character
