First sentence: The sun is just beginning to rise as Fort Jackson's "War Dogs" Platoonpart of Delta Company, 1st Battalion, 61st Infantry Regimentis herded into formation beneath the Victory Tower, a hulking edifice of wood planks, ladders, nets, and ropes surrounded by a pen of sawdust and big squishy vinyl-covered air mattresses, like the kind one sees children bounding around on at amusement parks.
