Free-Fire Zone (2012)
““Boiled Cabbage, get over here, now!” he yells at me from across the camp. He speaks the opposite way most people do, in that he screams all his words unless he’s very angry. Or unless he has a good reason not to, I guess, like if we’re on patrol and screaming gets us noticed and located and dead. He started calling me Boiled Cabbage — or just Cabbage, or BC — practically as soon as he saw me. Never told me why, but I figure it’s due to the fact I wear green and I have my helmet on almost every... minute because I like the way it makes me feel. And also apparently my face is a kind of boiled red all the time since I arrived in-country.
My mom used to sing this song sometimes, when she was cooking. “Oh, I’m a savage / for bacon and cabbage …” Made me laugh. I miss her bacon and cabbage more than most of the rest of life at home.
“Yes, sir, lieutenant,” I say, as I always say. I’m up off my bunk and out of the hooch as I say it.MoreLess
