From the excerpt we are studying here, we can tell that soldiers were mistaken in their first judgment of their enemy.

This excerpt was taken from "A Rumor of War", a memoir by Philip Caputo. Caputo - who joined the war at first for the excitement the danger caused in him and for the ideal of serving his country - soon realized his mistake.

Battles would last forever, American soldiers would keep on dying while the enemy hid in jungles full of traps and snipers.
