"I live in the hills east Tennessee. You don't come in my backyard, sneak up on me. I know every nook and every cranny, I know the creeks, you ain't gon' sneak up on me in the woods, my hometown. You're not goin'a jungle to Vietnam, sneak up on a VC. He knows where you're at. He knows where you're at 'fore you ever leave base camp." -- former US Army sargeant Gerald Thompson, interviewed in "American Experience: Two Days in October" [thanks to realinterrobang for transcribing this and to
fidhle for suggesting I watch it]
