The story

Lieutenant Jeffrey Knight, newly graduated from the United States Military Academy, is airlifted to an outpost in Vietnam, where he meets the hard-bitten veterans of his new platoon. Platoon Sergeant McNamara explains they don't need a leader that follows rules and Knight's leadership is rejected by everyone save Private Parker, his radio operator. Knight stumbles carelessly over a trip mine and is wounded on one of his first patrols.
