Thomas nearly ran into Sergeant Ryan and his men, nearly shouting out loud before he stopped, throwing himself into the undergrowth.

There was crossfire going everywhere, with the Americans firing at all directions towards the Charlies. Tommy loaded up his rifle, taking the safety off, and began to shot carefully at the men in conical hats.

"Sarge!" he shouted in his Irish accent, "What do you want me to do!?"

Thomas had to cover himself from all angles, and missed quite a few shots. This didn't deter him from attacking the VC, though.
