"They carried him out to a dry paddy, established security, and sat smoking the dead man's dope until the chopper came."

I can not believe that the soldiers would do such a thing. Their fellow "brother" is laying there dead, yet they are smoking his dope. I understand that they can not change the fact that he is dead; however if I was to die serving my country I know I would not want the others fighting with me to smoke when I was dead. I am not saying that they should sit there and cry about it, but I do think the soldiers should have a little more respect.
