I'm either going to die here, cowering, or I'm going to do my job and die doing my job. And so I went for him.

At 24, Seth Wolfe was older than most first-time enlistees. He was against the war from the onset but did not register as a conscientious objector, so he chose the job of hospital corpsman. Seth considers himself incredibly lucky to have not been injured badly, particularly given some of the maimed patients he saw.
