The work I am doing here is worthwhile.

All of the fingers and toes and arms and legs I'm amputating are a necessity. After all, I am saving lives. I am giving these men … these boys … a second chance at life. They will go back home to their families as survivors, not casualties.

The pieces of them I remove will remain in Korea forever, but their parents won't receive sorrow-filled letters from Father Mulcahy. They will get their sons back. Alive.

Because I took a part of them.
