  1. Walter Levy was an officer that Caputo was at Quantico with. He was killed when he attempted to retrieve one of his men. He did so after already being wounded by a land mine. His death was different because he tried to save a man who was already dead, but the more Caputo thought about it, he realized that Levy would have attempted to save the body anyway. This made the war very personal for Caputo. It made the war a real threat where death could happen to anyone.

  2. Caputo and Levy went to Quantico together for officer training. During a fight he was sniped when he was pulling a dead body back trying to save him. It was early in the war and they were close friends, so it put an effect on him. They trained together and were buddies in the army during officer training and it stuck with him knowing he lost one of his closest friends.

  4. Walter Levy's death affected Caputo so much because went to marine school at Quantico together. Levy was a platoon leader and he died after he was shot going out to try and save one of his fellow marines. His death was different because he died trying to save one of his fellow marines that was already dead. His death affected Caputo because he was the first from the class of 1964 to die. Also Levy was a part of them so when Levy died the rest of them died a little too.

  5. The relationship between Caputo and Levy was that they went to Quantico together. He's platoon was ambushed while they were going to help another platoon that radioed in for backup. Levy was shot trying to pull a died soldier out of the line of fire even though he had been wounded himself. To Caputo, it was the first casualty that he knew. The death of Walter Levy haunts Caputo still.

  7. Walter Levy's death affected Caputo so much because Caputo knew him and went through Quantico together. Walter was a first lieutenant and a friend of Caputo's. Walter was hit by mine shrapnel and went down when he saw that a corpsman treating someone with a bullet wound was shot and killed. Not knowing the corpsman was dead, Walter force himself to get up and go pull the man out of the line of fire. As he was doing so, Walter was shot himself. What makes him different is that everyone knew who Walter was and he was a kind person with a nice smile and everyone liked him. This affects Caputo mentally because he knew this man back when they were training to become officers and they went through hard times together and they formed a bond with each other.

  8. Philip Caputo and Levy went to officer training in Quantico. Levy was going to save someone and he was sniped trying to save him. It was a different than other peoples death because he was trying to save someone and he died. I think usually you die by shooting someone like the enemy and they shoot u back. But Caputo and Levy were buddies from the beginning.
