Commies menace medics; ugly racist rants ("Right down your lousy throats, you bow-legged slant eyed rice-eaters!"); scared soldier begs for his chum in a near-violation of the Army's "don't ask, don't tell" policy ("Don't leave me, Mike! I need you — beside me!"); man's hand blown off leaving a bloody stump; ad for ashtray that automatically extinguishes cigarettes to prevent readers from self-immolating when they fall asleep puffing butts.
