Honor And Duty (2014)
““Kai,” said Clint Bestier, “he’ll ask about your health and about Plebe sports. He’ll try to get you to box for the company. He’ll talk about your grades. Then he’ll ask you ‘spirit’ questions—whether you like the Infantry, jumping out of airplanes, slitting people’s throats, drinking blood, you know, things like that.”
“Drinking blood?” I asked.
“Like ‘Would you drink enemy blood?’ or ‘Are you a killer?’ ”
“Sir, Mr. Ting reports to his squad leader as ordered!”
“ENTER!” he bellowed. Mr. McWalt...ers, an Arkansan, was probing Macbeth’s deeper meaning by poking his tongue from the corner of his mouth. His roommates cranked formula for electrical engineering while cursing the heritage, progeny, and anatomy of Juice in a blue fog of creative, scatalogical profanity. How could I whip a course that hard? Why struggle now, merely to face that course later? McWalters scribbled a margin note on Harrison’s Shakespeare and removed his Squad Book.MoreLess
