The story
In 1989, Anthony "Swoff" Swofford, whose father served in the earlier Vietnam War (1955–1975), attends United States Marine Corps recruit training before being stationed at Camp Pendleton, California.
When Kuwait is invaded by Iraq, Swofford's unit is deployed to Saudi Arabia as a part of "Operation Desert Shield" in the Gulf War (1990–1991).
Fergus accidentally sets fire to a tent while cooking some sausages and ignites a crate of flares, waking the whole camp and enraging Staff Sergeant Sykes.
