Summary
Dirk Strider carried with him a fully-loaded M-60, one M-18 smoke grenade, a blunted machete, dental floss, and stale M&Ms; as well as signal flares and detonators and wiring and a mosquito net full of holes and condoms and dust and sunglasses and a pair of headphones with the paint scratched off into initials.
And Jake English, though he didn't and never will realize it, carried Dirk Strider.

I have read this so many times. It is so powerful. Warning if you're faint of heart and stomach, though. It's a pretty brutal and realistic depiction of war.
