Ben Thieu Long (pseudonym) was unprepared as a young soldier for the conditions of war and faltered in the face of powerful temptations. A devout individual, his responses to moral dilemmas shattered his confidence that he would sustain his commitment to his values. Thirteen Moons over Vietnam is a thirteen-volume series describing a military policeman’s moral and spiritual struggles during the Vietnam War. Although this is one soldier’s story, these experiences reflect what veterans across generations have had to contend with during war.
Sergeant Bruffer read the roll call and bellowed, “Bugliano!” “Here.” “Glad to see you could show up this morning, Specialist.” The Sergeant added his daily dose of personal digs. “It’s important to maintain professionalism. Unfortunately, some of you are slacking, and that needs to stop. I expect you to remain STRAC, no more lounging in your vehicle.” The assembled troops stood silent. Pausing, Bruffer baited Bruce. “Bugliano, you got that?” Everyone felt the tension rise as the sparring unfolded. Bruce was careful, but his sarcasm was evident as he pretended he wasn’t listening, “What, Sergeant?” Bruffer snarled, “You better get with the program, soldier!” “I’m your best soldier, and I’m ready to take your job when you leave,” Bruce smirked. “We’re all wishing you an early ETS, Sergeant.” “Don’t be a smart-ass!” the Sergeant barked. “I thought you said we all need to be smarter, Sergeant?” Sergeant Bruffer’s face turned red hot as he glared at Bruce.
