The Dentist
A short peculiar chapter, not much for me to say about this one..except that Curt Lemon is a little more loco than I thought he was. But craziness can only be judged so far for these soldiers. "He didn't mind blood or pain--he actually enjoyed combat--but there was something about a dentist that just gave him the creeps." Talk about your desensitization! It's so hard to believe that there are actually people like this at war today. It makes me sad.

Time O'Brien will explore the joy of combat more in some of the later stories.
