I found this video very indicative of the American Grunt (Infantryman) during my tour over there. I share it with you that you might get a thumbnail of the Grunt circa 1969-70.

To be truthful, I am, as many Americans, unable to speak any language but my own (much to my regret). I do not know what the 'Ghost' is saying.

2nd installment. Listen carefully, you will hear a  grunt describe a common occurrence in my experience, 'Sandbagging a Patrol'.

Pretty impressive Jody.
It clearly describes the brutallity of war and the way the  groundtroops were facing the periods of horrors and boredom.
