Subject: Mines

I’m high school student doing a project that requires me to give three reflections on three stories about the Vietnam War or three stories from Vietnam soldiers. I choose this story because I want to hear a story from a person that has been hit by a claymore or has seen someone hit by a claymore mine. My first question is did the claymore hurt and do you remember how you felt when the mine exploded? Like what was the first thing that went through your head when the mine exploded? While I was reading you said that while you were at the hospital you had holes or something in your chest. What were the holes and what made the holes? Was it from pieces of the mine or something or was it just made from the explosion. Also how big is a claymore explosion, like why is the explosion so powerful. Also is there a way to tell that there is a claymore mine on the ground or do you just walk and hope you don’t step on one. If you don’t know I wouldn’t know how to deal with the thought of not knowing where one is. If a claymore explodes on you wouldn’t your legs get blown off or something? If they did what happens to you after that if you live. Do you go back home or something? I heard that during the war if you were hurt or something you were sent back to the U.S, is that true. Did people ever get hurt on purpose just so they could leave? If you or someone, would be so nice to respond to this reflection, because its one of my requirements to my reflection and my teacher asked me to try and get some responses.
