Quote #10
A group of five or six guys piles into row 6, friends of the young marrieds it seems; they arrive with much laughing and razzing and immediately pull out pint bottles of Wild Turkey. "Bro!" one of them caws at Lodis. "Get some stitches in them dizzles!" They have the clean-cut, mainstream, Anglo looks that Billy imagines must be soothing to bosses and clients, suitable for careers in banking, business, law, wherever it is the money lives. (Proud.49)
Looks like the "victory tour" has been one long, uncomfortable wake-up call for Billy, as if America was determined to remind him that he's just a grunt. A hero grunt, sure—but a grunt just the same. He could never live up to these clean-cut dudes who ooze wealth.
